there's nothing stopping you building a dragonegg plugin for 4.5 or 4.6, you
just have to use 4.7 or 4.8 to build it. Since 4.6 is the most recent gcc
version with which dragonegg works reliably, I think dropping it is a mistake.
Dropping support for 4.5 is fair enough, and would simplify the dragonegg code
(which has special cases for 4.5). I can understand that you don't want to say
we support a version of gcc (4.6) which we are not testing, but I think the
right solution is to test it.
Ciao, Duncan.
