libstdc++/9615: STL classes are not in the std namespace

[Kevin Henry]

It's not decided by SGI 'a few days ago', as you say.  It's in the STLPort4 code from last February as being in that location, in Microsoft's STL provided with MSVC 6.0 (from '96?)  All other platforms have these STL portions in the std namespace, and because of these changes, STL on gcc3.x.x is useless!  STL was originally conceived by SGI, not as part of the C++ standard.  The changes that have been made to the compiler make it impossible for me to use STLPort4 instead of the supplied STL.

I will not get into a shouting match over your definition of standard.  

Thanks for your lack of help.

Kevin
