No there's no way it can be.  BTW I think that recent STLport releases may
have fixed this, I'm not sure though...

Oh, and just to make things worse... Borlands compiler has problems with all
of STLports numeric_limits<> members when used as template arguments
(compiler bug - it selects the value 0 regardless of what the actual value
is!!!), and I've seen similar problems with VC6 (numeric_limits<> constant
members can't be used with static asserts, and maybe in other situations
also....)

Sorry to be so negative, but this whole area is a minefield...
