I'm basically referring to the results of my testsuite which
concentrates on locales and IOStreams but also tests other stuff. The
biggest problem for libstdc++ are the C library functions not being
available in namespace 'std' if I remember correctly (it could have
been STLport where this problem was, too). However, I changed other
test cases to avoid failures due to C library functions not being in
namespace std.

I really dislike Plauger's implementation because it is not optimized
at all but it is fairly correct. I don't have the Rogue Wave, Modena,
or Metrowerks implementation (I think this would complete the list of
available implementations) to run them through my testsuite.
