Description Tim Rädisch 2002-10-07 14:07:25 UTC
The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used as a garbage
collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It is also used by a number of
programming language implementations that use C as intermediate code.

In portage exists a version of boehm-gc, but it's only 6.0. And because we
create eBuilds for the newest available mono-version, we want to use the newest
boehm-gc too.
