That, in fact, worked. I did get a bunch of compiler errors because I
was trying to use STL in a private variable. I suspect gcc 2.95.2
doesn't like STL. It errors out in the C headers and not in anything
that seems to be related to OrbitCPP. Has anyone else seen problems with
this? I'd really like to use the advanced features of C++ with OrbitCPP
:-)

If I'm not making another silly mistake here, maybe we should send a bug
report to the GCC maintainers.

I can write up some questions from things I encountered trying to get it
running when I get home from work tonight. Is there any particular
format that should be used? HTML? Plain Text? LaTeX? I can work with a
lot of them.

If trees screamed would we be as quick to cut them down? Possibly,
if they screamed all the time.
