Sounds good to me.

Btw, could you apply the following on top of the last patch? The 'sun' 
in the ABI name becomes '1' on a Sun, so let's use sun_v5 instead (v5
comes from Sun C++ version 5 ABI, notably different than 4, which used
ARM). 

Ah, how the whole preprocessing side-effects never ceases to annoy me.

	* aclocal.m4 (OCTAVE_CXX_ABI): Use "sun_v5" instead of "sun".
