What is the time table for 1.2? FYI, I know some C++ codes use
auto_ptr. I have to fix it in egcs 1.0.3. It may be a good idea
to include a better STL in egcs 1.1, since more and more C++ codes
are using STL, even if it means 1.1.1. Delaying it means people
may say "don't use STL in egcs and get a real one in stead". As far
as they know, STL in egcs is broken since 1.0 and it is broken.
