Okay, I guess that relying on the sabon package is a bad idea. Also
thanks for the C++ comment-style fixes.

Personally I dislike the warnings GCC emits when it's placed in
super-anal mode. I would never take fixes for Xen or Xenolinux to stop
those warnings since I think GCC should be run with a more permissive
set of options. 

For the mini-os I'll give the patches some thought. I guess it's being
used as a starting point for ports that may use a different compiler
or have a predetermined set of command-line options, so perhaps it
makes sense...

PS. Please send your documentation updates when you think it's
worthwhile. They'll be vey useful!
