RTTI working for G++

[Daniel Berlin <dan at cgsoftware dot com>]

Okay, i have RTTI working for g++.
Well, all except for multiple inheritance.

Scratch that last part, i just made it offset properly if you have >1
baseclass, so al is good.

If i could have one or two volunteers to make sure it's not just my setup,
and that all is well, before i post the patches asking for comments, i'd
appreciate it.
In any case, let me know what you guys think of it so far.
If you look at the output, you'll notice that while for printing, it will
print the object as if it was it's derived type, when it comes to
accessing members/methods, just like in C++, you can't access the members,
unless you specifically cast it to that derived type.

 For those wondering what the patch will do, check this out:

The inheritance on these classes in the example looks like this

fred is a base
dan and bob both inherit directly from fred.
george is another base.
george2 inherits from george and bob (public george, public bob)

I'll rename them so they make more sense as i work up testcases.

But anyway, here's some output:
