Added a whole lot of information on upgrading with egcs and the common
problems discussed in -current up through approx april 7th. Those more in the know please read these changes and send me corrections. I've only hit a few of the cases, not all of them, so my reporting is second hand at best.

+ In recent days egcs has been imported into the tree. A number
+ of problems have been discussed in -current. Here is a highlight
+ of a few of the more common ones. With the exception of make
+ -j n, they have been claimed to have been fixed.
+
+ c++ is broken after make world: This is correct. Because we
+ changed compilers two make worlds are necessary to get C++
+ working again. The code generated by the old compiler and new
+ compiler are not compatible, so things wind up being
+ undefined.
+
+ cpp is broken in make world: There was a window where cpp
+ would be built incorrectly. The fix for this is
+ cd src/sys/gnu/usr.bin/cc
+ make clean
+ make all
+ make install
+ and this should correct your problems. See the -current
+ archives for a version of this that does moer cleaning.
+
+ Make -j n doesn't work. Work contiunes to make this work,
+ I've seen no reports of success as of April 7th.
