Unless you need support for wide character streams you can simply use
<ftp://ftp.fmi.uni-konstanz.de/pub/algo/personal/kuehl/sstream.tgz>:
This simply extends the library currently shipping with gcc by string
streams. Other alternatives are of course to require a standard library
for which there are four alternatives:

- libstdc++-v3 although it is not yet completed
- STLport which produced a bunch of errors when run with my testsuite
- CXXRT which is also not complete but works for most things
- Dinkumware, at least available for Linux. However, this one is a
  commercial library.

Using the simple code mentioned above is probably the approach with
least impact. The code is *not* a wrapper to 'strstream' and should be
fairly efficient for most applications. However, I haven't profiled and
optimized it: It is just a version I hacked from the CXXRT version (the
current CXXRT version is rather different thought...).
