gcc 3.0 when released will have one of the most standards compliant
C++ compilers to date, with one of the more standards compliant
standard C++ libraries:
        http://sourceware.cygnus.com/libstdc++/

(Of course when gcc 3.0 is relased is not yet clear, and in addition it 
will probably be 3.1 or 3.2 (or 3.0.1, or 3.0.2, or whatever) until it 
is usable for production use.)
