// There's a lot to do, the stdlib shipped with gcc prior to 3.x 
// was terribly non-conforming. 
// . defines macros switches
// . supplies template classes basic_foo<char,Tr> where gcc only supplies foo.
//  i.e :
//     -  basic_ios<char, Tr>        from ios
//     -  basic_ostream<char, Tr>    from ostream
//     -  basic_srteambuf<char, Tr>  from streambuf
// these can be used transparently. (it obviously does not work for wchar_t)
// . specialise CompatAlloc and CompatTraits to wrap gcc-2.95's 
//    string_char_traits and std::alloc
