Right, sorry I forgot that.  As for the other question Jonathan asked,
both the STLport and libstdc++ versions of "rope" are based on the SGI
rope code; the former has lots of cruft to make it highly portable,
the latter is designed to fit in with libstdc++, and g++ users should
use the libstdc++ version.
