I was wondering what build of Comeau people got this working with.  I'm
using 4.2.45.2b.

The <iostream> HelloWorld app, works a treat (in either strict or
microsoft mode).

The problems I encounter seem to be to do with <cwctype> and Comeau have
said they're working on a patch.  I'm just wondering how everyone else
managed without this.
