Re: BGL and Intel v6 compiler?

It's got perfectly good support for partial specialization. In fact, at its
core, it's one of the most conforming C++ compilers going. The biggest
problem is that by default it's in a mode which emulates many of VC6's bugs.
You can turn those off, but you probably need STLPort since the VC6/7
standard libraries that Intel 6 uses depend on those bugs. I'm not an expert
in how to do that, so you'd have to ask someone else...

Dave
