That depends on how high you set the bar. There are quite a few 
compilers out there that are reasonably conformant to the standard 
(e.g., GCC 3.4+, MSVC 7.1+, CodeWarrior 9+, anything EDG-2.45+-based), 
and those should be supported. At this point, no library would get 
rejected because it doesn't support the old, broken compilers out 
there.
