Just to set the record straight here:  Richard Stallman posted a message
about *** gcc 2.0 *** (which is the same as 2.00) being bogus.  gcc 2.01,
as DJ numbers it, is the exact same thing as gcc 2.1, as the FSF numbers
it.  DJ doesn't have the luxury of embedding .'s, so he added the zero
(I assume) to prevent confusion.  (I guess it didn't work. :-)
