Right: algorithm is ok. #include <ext/algorithm> is nice! I'm correcting this.
For the include guard I propose _EXT_ALGORITHM, however. What do you think?

To be safe, most probably we should add both HP and SGI copyrights too, as currently

Ok with this change, or perhaps it is better to wait for Benjamin's point of view on
those legal matters?
