Why don't we all just throw away our machines and give up?

Seriously now, AIX 3.1 is stuck with X11-R3!  I believe that most
RS6000 sites have swallowed hard and upgraded to 3.2.  I think it's
about time libg++ did the same.

Otherwise, please change the README file in libg++-2.3 to state that it
doesn't work under AIX 3.2.  This will save lots of people lots of time.
Better yet, mention it in gcc-2.3.2/INSTALL - this is where folks will
look first.
