That is an interesting idea.  I hadn't thought of doing that.  I'm going to 
run your proposal by castxml/gccxml upstream (Brad King) to see if he has any 
comments or suggestions.  (I suspect I may have missed some use cases)

I hesitate a little to include it in castxml because it means a 
conflicts/replaces/etc nightmare.  However, we could, alternatively, replace 
the gccxml source package with this script and upload it as a new version of 
gccxml package (depending on castxml).  Any thoughts on this proposal?

Thanks,
