using std::iostream in socket.h

[Anders Backman]

Hi there.

Im experiencing problems when using CommonC++ v1.9.1 under windows using VC++6.0.

The problems seems to arise from the fact that the using namespace std::iostream is set in socket.h

This leads to conflicts with other libraries,

Im using STLPort4.5
and OpenScenegraph, so it leads to real severere conflicts such as:

Any input on this?

It is stlport and commonc++ that is conflicting.

Just adding the stlport include directory to the include path will make the apesock demo fail to compile.

This is rather serious as STLPort is a great way of avoiding crashes in the Windows platform.

The Microsoft STL library is really a mess.

So could anyone look into this?
