Even today?  I didn't expect that.  But anyway, the actual bug is just
with the configure script.  Whether to fix the configure bug by changing
to newstyle headers everywhere is a separate decision - and obviously
not as clear-cut as I thought.

Yes, maybe the best option is to have configure just ignore the compiler
warning when testing for the presence of <fstream.h>.
