Who's Bill? How about P.J.Plauger or Pete Becker?

You can download an experimental copy from developers.qnx.com (in the 
New Stuff section). There are instructions for installations other 
than QNX there, but I'm not quite sure of the licensing issues. Also 
note that QNX is free for non-comercial use -download it from 
www.qnx.com. And very nice it is too - a microkernel POSIX compliant 
realtime OS, with a reasonable GUI.

I'll be happy to make the changes once the library becomes an 
official part of QNX. If I have time anyway (it depends how extensive 
the required changes are...).

In my code I had to get rid of anything to do with locales, 
stringstream (rather than i/ostringstream) and templated 
iostreams/strings. That was it though, once I'd added a version of 
bitset to the library (it doesn't include bitset by default!).
