C++, libstdc++-v3 and, well, error messages

[Gerald Pfeifer]

If you compile the following trivial snippet

  #include <vector>
  vector<int> v;

with our current CVS sources, you'll get the following error:

  filename:2: syntax error before ';' token

Now, I know what's wrong in that snippet, but how many of our users will
spend a lot of time tracking this down and also submit bug reports?

Perhaps we could issue a better diagnostic message?
