The compiler is correct. The above is not valid C++ syntax
(no matter what all those other compilers do).
I think the correct syntax is
typename C::Iterator it;
^^^^^^^^
This syntax is a fairly recent addition to C++, and
I have no idea whether the cygwin g++ supports it yet
(and no intention of rebooting my Linux box in W95 mode
to find out ;-).
