Helmut,

Thanks for the patch!

Instead of removing the workaround for gcc-3.0.0, I fixed the spelling
error, though: I'm sure some people will try to use the library with that
compiler, and I don't want them to have to choose between upgrading their
compiler and not being able to use the operators library.
