It's a hack. GCCVER should end up being PREGCCVER if the said
g++$(PREGCCVER) exists, othervise it ends up just being ""
and then we can just hope that the user has a correct default version of
gcc/g++..

>What about g++ -V3.2, would that be better?

perhaps, the whole issue is a bit complicated. One could propose using
autoconf etc but then, it can easily end up being a bigger mess than
these hacks :)

I don't think there is actually an official 3.3 release yet, only
prereleases?
