That really depends on the modifications. We do not want to put any hacks
and workarounds into the code just to support gcc 3.3. If it is clean
standard C++ and doesn't look uglier than what we have now, please tell us
how you did it ;-)
Otherwise, if it's something that will need a comment in the code à la "we
shouldn't be doing it this way but gcc 3.3 forces us", we do not want to
support it. We already have to test every check-in with a bunch of
different compilers on different operating systems, so maintaining another
one that is even outdated is beyond our manpower.
