I actually didn't know about the STLPort stuff either when this conversation started. One final thing: Will an upgrade from GCC 4.4 to GCC 4.7 reduce or eliminate the need for us to use STLPort? Is there any documentation on what causes us to depend on STLPort? My guess is that soon STLPort, and not GCC or clang or MSVC limitations, is what is going to be slowing us down, so perhaps we should have a plan for getting rid of the need for it.
