I was about to edit installorder.conf to support upgrades, but it turned
out that we got lucky this time: the soname for libstdc++ has not
changed between gcc 3.4.5 and 4.6.1. I don't know for sure whether
these are actually compatible or not (perhaps they are), but at least
RPM is happy during upgrade with "make installworld" (which currently
upgrades libstdc++ before upgrading other packages that depend on
libstdc++).
