FYI: Problems solved by switching to gcc 3.3

Tom: We (the "MingW people") know about this. Danny has been pretty
active with resolving this. It was a last-minute patch to libstdc++ (I think even
after the "code freeze") and may have already been fixed in the mainline,
though I haven't checked recently.

This is also a Win32-specific issue related to how Win32 handles exports
and shared-library linking. Jost's is a special case which is non-standard
for Win32.
