You might consider the scheme that KAI uses to help people make the
transition to the std:: namespace for the C++ Standard Library.  Their
<xxx> headers obey the standard, declaring everything in std::.  For
those who are not ready for that, they also have <xxx.h> headers, which
include <xxx> and then export the appropriate names to the global
namespace via using commands.  I think an idea along these lines was
mentioned recently with regard to namespaces.

Also, you don't want to create some trivial form of header that is still
not up to the standard.  It might be better at this point to hold off on
<xxx> headers until you can make them a lot closer to the standard.
