 Forget everything you know about the standard. AFAICT, libCstd is
 configured for older versions of Sun CC, which were lacking a number of
 critical language features, including partial specialization. As a
 result, many components, in particular those involving
 std::iterator_traits, do not match the standard. Fixing the config will
 most likely break the ABI (and to some extent, the API) as much as
 switching to STLport.
