Well, now libstdc++ is allowed, right? (assuming you can find and
install one, since nobody's stepped forward with mingwlibs-for-cygwin
package).
Not having looked at Jason's code, I can't comment on the design;
however, it shouldn't be terribly difficult to refactor it away from STL
and just use "basic" libstdc++ stuff, right? I mean, Jason didn't go
absolutely template-crazy, did he?
Or am I showing my ignorance again?
