Actually, we do keep template interfaces and implementations in the same 
file, so this is almost certainly a bug / limitation of -frepo, or some 
interaction with autotools.  I will tell you bluntly that I am very 
skeptical of all schemes for speeding-up template instantiation - the 
level of complexity in designing such a system is unreal - see the C/C++ 
Users Journal article on EDG support for the export keyword from a few 
months back to get a taste for just what a boondoggle this is.
