i'm not actually sure. i know of at least two problems:

- gcc 2.95.x does not allow the word 'typename' in some cases where 3.x 
explicitely requires it. (Easy to fix with macros.)

- gcc 2.x doesn't have the necessary template class specialization support. 
This features is relied upon /heavily/, and there is no substitute for it.
