Renaming Symbols cout, cerr, cin, clog

["Stefan Vogel" <Stefan dot Vogel at clarity-ag dot net>]

Hi folks,

in our actual work we have to link some librarys which were compiled
with
the native sun forte compiler and librarys have were build with the gcc.

The problem of calling methods of Objects which have compiled with the
other compiler we solved with the help of c-interface wich is
automaticly
generated witch an extention of swig.

The real problem during this task was that there are 4 objects defined
in 
the forte librarys and the gnu stdlibio.a. What I did was renaming (see
diff file)
the defines
   
	cout, cerr, cin and clog

to

	gcout, gcerr, gcin and gclog.

In the c++-application nothing have to be changed! 

Now it is possible to use shared librarys wich were compiled and linked 
with the gcc and librarys and main programs build with the native
compiler.
It is important that the gcc librarys were shared librarys, caused by
the 
static objects, which have to be initialized!

So is it possible to rename those symbols in future releases of the
libio!
