[apluslist] Compiling A+ - FC3

[Neil Roeth]

I'm not sure how active development is, but now that Debian Sarge is released
(which has 4.18 in it) I plan to work through getting 4.20 packaged (I am the
Debian maintainer of the A+ package).  In the process, I will be resolving
these errors, because I will have to use at least g++ 3.4 if not 4.0.  I'll
let this list know when that is done, it will be easy to see what changes I
have made to get it to compile.
