On a similar note: 
  Would it be sane to shipmake available a set of 'compatibility' 
  headers similar to the following?

brent@sleepy$ cat ./iostream.h
#warning <iostream.h> is not a standard c++ header
#warning update this code to use <iostream>
#ifndef __NONSTD_HACK__
#define __NONSTD_HACK__
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#endif


I ask because I've had to do just this to get some old (rather, 
noncompliant) code to compile with a libstdc++-v3 gcc. If there
is any interest, let me know and I'll start on this when I get
a spare moment.
