I think my staying out of this is part of what Landley meant by not
getting into the distro business. :-) If whoever _is_ working on a
small, self-hosting system with decent modern GUI gets to the point of
dealing with harfbuzz and wanting to keep out all C++ dependencies, I
think the polite way to handle it would be to contact the maintainers
and tell them why it's a burden to require a C++ compiler (especially
if you want to use pcc or something firm-based with no C++ compiler)
and that you're willing to maintain a no-C++ fork, but would also be
interested in whether they'd be willing to phase-out C++ usage.
