Another operators.hpp bug?

The iterator helper definitions look like this. Am I completely nuts
and/or is this completely wacked? It looks like it is saying we only
define iterator helpers if your compiler is GCC >= 2.96 or your
library is SGI STL. What exactly is the intention here, and how
do we fulfill it?
