Hi John,

> I have a simple case working (where the cut only crosses the boundary of the polygon 2 times).  However, I noticed that when I am building it for the iphone simulator things work fine.  However, when I build it for the iphone device there are errors.  I think it may have to do with the compiler and standard template libraries used for the iphone device.  I think it may be more the compiler than the STL because the problem is occurring in deque.tcc and this file is the same for both the simulator and device source trees.

[snipped the rest]

It seems as if the resize method is not supported by that compiler.

I remember that resize is std::, but added relatively late, such that 
some compilers do not support it (IIRC).

.replace might be replaced by something else e.g. an erase call. You 
might experiment with that. But at least you could comment the resize 
and check if it compiles (it will of course not run correctly then...)
