Just do it, it won't be committed unless it's clean. Make sure it still
works with gcc 2.95.3, as this is still needed for some platforms.
I believe this basically means you can't use all the fancy C++ style
casts, but the best way to assure it still works with 2.95.3 is to
test with that compiler in addition to testing with 4.0.
