I checked it with gcc 3.3, 3.4 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and it works indeed great
and all tests are successful with one exception:

There are warnings and even internal compiler errors with gcc 3.3!

$ g++-3.3 --version
g++-3.3 (GCC) 3.3.6 (Debian 1:3.3.6-15)

I attached a patch which just adds a few comments which you should
check. It's only very trivial stuff.
Most internal compiler errors result from static asserts which I
excluded for g++ 3.3. But at least one test leads to it as well outside
asserts.

PS: Please do not create ZIP files from your DOS based system. All files
(even source files!) are marked as executable which is obviously wrong.
