[Opentnl-general] Function 'new' redefinition

[Mark P N. <Mark@Neyersoftware.com>]

Hi, it's me again with another question. I'm working on adding TNL to 
the game engine that I'm making, and when I go to complile after adding 
the line '#include <tnl.h>, it tells me that the function 'void 
*operator new(size_t,void*) already has a body, which has been definted 
in (MSFT Visual Studio.NET)\Vc7\include\new. I looked at this 
definition,  as well as the definition of new in 'tnlTypes.h', and they 
appeared to be the exact same thing. I  commented out the function 
definition in tnlTypes.h and then told it to #include<new> right there 
instead, and everything compiled fine. I haven't actually made the TNL 
code /do /anything yet, so I can't be sure if this ruins functionality. 
Is there any reason why 'new' was defined outside of the TNL namespace?

As an aside question, this is my first time joining any sort of open 
source development mailing list. Am I asking the 'right kind' of 
questions and is this the right place to ask them ? I'd hate to be 
annoying everyone on the list ...
