This for sure, it's impossible to implement the whole C++11 without 
breaking the ABI and it's in particular impossible to have a fully 
conforming reference counted <string>, we gonna have a new one anyway, 
similar to the current <ext/vstring.h>, which can't possibly be affected 
by those issues (by the way, the sooner we start testing that kind of 
code, the better)

Anyway, about this specific issue I don't think I have much more to say, 
sorry. When you make up your mind just let me know, as a maintainer of 
the library I have no problems approving for 4.7 changes affecting only 
mingw, if the target maintainers ask.

Paolo.
