I'm completely opposed to special-casing iostream.h.
Furthermore, folks, we already have a macro for this stuff, see c++config.h:
// To enable older, ARM-style iostreams and other anachronisms use this.
//#define _GLIBCPP_DEPRECATED 1
Anyway. I believe the consensus (from Alexandre, Jason and I, at least)
is to install backward headers in the normal place, and warn when they
are used unless -Wno-deprecated is used.

This remains as the only other sane option, seemingly. I'm uncertain if
the compiler folks will agree with it though...
