Cocotron gets some Objective-C 2.0 support via gcc 4.3.0

Johannes Fortmann recently contributed a new InstallCDT capable of installing gcc 4.3.0. Included in his gcc 4.3.0 patch set is compiler support for properties and fast enumeration. There is still work to be done to completely enable these in the runtime but Johannes has been making progress already.

Recent Cocotron patches by Johannes also completely enable @try/@catch which had been present in the compiler but needed runtime support.

You'll need to svn up to r106 to use gcc 4.3.0
