Note that strstream is non-standard.  stringstream is the standard
version of what you want, but it's not implemented in libstdc++ yet
:-(

Not according to the documentation of strstream that is distributed
within libio.  It says:

 - Method: char* ostrstream::str ()
     A pointer to the string managed by this `ostrstream'.  Implies
     `ostrstream::freeze()'.

     Note that if you want the string to be nul-terminated, you must do
     that yourself (perhaps by writing ends to the stream).

Unfortunately, it looks like it is not installed by default.
Shouldn't it be?  It seems to me that just adding iostream.info to the 
list of dependencies of all: should do it...  May I install this change?
