Re: ELFIO 1.0.0

Hi,

I've checked out both the binary and source packages, and 
everything seems kosher there.  I did run into a minor 
problem while attempting to rebuild the package from 
sources.  One of the examples won't compile using g++-3.2, 
complaing about mbchar namespace issues.  This could just be 
an issue with my setup, so I don't think it will cause a 
major issue.  However, it compiles just fine against 
g++-2.95, which is the current release.  So I will give it 
my vote.  I guess that makes 2 votes with JDF's...

Cheers,
Nicholas
