I am tempted to punt for 4.2 as a test release.  It is now in stage 3,
so by the time we shake out any bugs it will be released. 

gmp and mfpr are required for gfortran.  I have packages of gmp-4.2 and 
mfpr-2.2.0 built and almost ready to go, and am using them for gcc-4.2
test builds

I have discussed this off list with Lapo and he is happy for me take
over as maintainer.  I will try and get something out for review 
over the weekend.
