I installed GCC 4.6.2 (SFE package) and then installed GCC 4.7.1 (to 
/usr/local) from source code because as an application developer I 
need modern GCC to develop with.

However, I would also like to be able to install Richard Lowe's gcc 
4.4.4 without it conflicting with any other GCC (or being used as a 
"gcc" dependency) because I would like to be able to build Illumos 
with it.  Users should always have the ability to install the current 
"system" compiler which is capable of building the OS and is carefully 
installed so that it does not collide with anything else.
