RFE: gcc41 and odcctools

[yves@…]

I just built gcc41 with odcctools on 10.4.5 and everything looks ok.

I did change "depends_build" to "depends_lib-append" because I guess odcctools need to be installed to use gcc41.

Since using gcc40 or gcc41 means a move away from Apple's compiler chain, my opinion is that odcctools should be used by default on all darwin platforms, or at least be present as a variant. Especially since Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf <lars.sonchocky-helldorf@…> found better results at regression tests with odcctools.

thanks for all these up-to-date gcc versions !

ok - do you have a diff for the Portfile? Which tools has ./configure to be pointed to for using odcctools?
