[boost] old style streams support?

Hi,

My DSP compiler comes with an ancient version of STL which only has
old-style streams support (non templated streambuf etc.). It seems that
in order to use some parts of boost that use streams, I would need to
either

modify boost to allow old style streams or use something like STLPort to
get a more modern version of STL (My compiler vendor is unlikely to
provide me with a more modern version).

 

Using STLPort comes with its own porting issues - I have tried it
briefly and it could probably be made to work but it would definitely
require some modification. Is there any interest in supporting old-style
streams in boost?
