Fixed.

Fixed. I've also changed the CGS system to parallel the SI system in
directory structure/granularity.

Excellent. So, to summarize :

GCC 4.0.X 	compiles and runs correctly
MSVC 8.0	compiles and runs correctly
MSVC 7.1	compiles and runs - correctness not checked
MWCW 9.2	compiles - problems with partial ordering (fixed),
                                            problems with isfinite, etc... (not fixed yet)

Has anyone else successfully compiled/used the library with other
compilers?

Thanks for coming up with a fix. I was just avoiding having
to put them in a .cpp file - your solution looks much more appealing.
Let me test it out...
