I commited toolsets. Christopher, unfortunately, due to "very tight 
internet security", our company firewall seems to considered your 
html files as viruses and stripped them out. Could you resend them to 
me archived?
There are two issues with STLPort configurations though. 
1. I could not link with the debug version of STLPort library
This issue I could not overcome for more then a year now with 
several versions of compiler and the library in a row. There was 
recent discussion on STLPort forum dedicated namely to this problem 
and it gives full description:
http://www.stlport.com/dcforum/DCForumID6/1082.html

2. I could not define _STLP_NO_THREADS.
