Ah! Yes, I remember now. You previously suggested using STLport as the 
library. I tried briefly, but got stopped by the lack of an STLport 
makefile for Intel 6.0. The older Intel makefiles don't work. I checked the 
STLport forum, and someone else reported the same problems.

If someone has a .mak that works for STLport 4.5.3 and Intel 6.0 on Win32 
that they would like to share, please send it to me privately.  The STLport 
folks would also appreciate it, I'm sure.
