py_cpp does not like STLport (STLport bug revealed)

Hi.

On MSVC 6.4 with STLport 4.0, py_cpp fails to compile
reporting
error C2039: 'type_info' : is not a member of '_STL'
at every usage of std::type_info.

Without STLport, everything builds ok.

looking inside the STLport's <typeinfo> header, it
seems the stuff is placed into global instead of std:
----------thisisthefragmentofcopyrightedstlportcode
# if defined  (__STL_USE_NAMESPACES) \
   && ( defined (__STL_VENDOR_GLOBAL_EXCEPT_STD) || defined
(__STL_USE_OWN_NAMESPACE) || defined (__STL_DEBUG))
__STL_BEGIN_NAMESPACE

// VC++ 6 has only this guy in ::
# if !(defined(__STL_MSVC)&& (__STL_MSVC <= 1200))
using __STL_VENDOR_EXCEPT_STD::type_info;
# endif
---------------------------------------------------

After I realised, that py_cpp code is ok on native
headers with std::type_info, I removed that conditional
under the comment from STLport and it worked as a good
fix for me.

Maybe stlport tries to workaround some issue
already solved by Service Pack 4.

Is it possible for anyone with latest STLport beta to
have a look on this? Otherwise we shall report a bug
to STLport.
