Using Sun compiler is a bad idea ;o) It used to be that I was not able to
compile the most simple basic things with it(like shared_ptr). I do understand
though that it may be your requirement.

90% that it will. Please provide the patch. Be aware though that I believe trunk
has different problem with this compiler at the moment. If you can help me with
it, I would really appreciate it.
