When I try to generate python-bindings for imagemagick (re-generation the
bindings for pythonmagick-0.6), I get the following error:

pyste.py --module=_PythonMagick --multiple --out=./pythonmagick_src -I
['/usr/include'] pyste_src/PathMovetoAbs.pyste

When I pass the option "--gccxml-compiler g++-3.4.6" to gccxml, it works.
I'm not surprised though, version 0.6 of gccxml is from year 2004.
Reading through the mailinglist shows that others had some problems as well:

According to this note:
http://hanzubon.jp/gcc4/changes/gccxml_0.7.0+cvs20060311-1_ppc64.changes

GCC-4* support may have been added in the CVS version of gccxml.

Jup, CVS version seems to work with gcc-4.x but breaks pyste.
I have upped a snapshot here:

I've decided to sync w/ Debian, since it seems that upstream is never going
to get around to generating a release.  I suspect that pyste is still broken
(and probably will remain broken forever, since it's no longer maintained).
