I think the best way to learn about those topics is studying what gets 
checked in by the maintainers and the various contributors when a new 
file is added: have a look to the Changelog, find an interesting entry 
(I would suggest something in include/tr1) and then browse the 
individual commits with:

   http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/

Also, you will need the autoconf and automake tools, appropriate 
versions (2.59 and 1.9.6), in order to be able to run 'autoreconf' after 
having changed any Makefile.am, etc.

Just try to mimic the way are used by existing containers like std::set...

P.S. Marek, while doing your thesis you will learn the hard way that 
often you have to help yourself... the sooner the better, if you can 
accept my gray-haired advice... ;)
