Peter,
         I'm the guilty party for that declaration - and unfortunately I 
don't have my Stroustroup here. I'll try and check whether that is legal 
code - but if it can be made legal for all compilers by writing it as

         template <int constant>
         class CrankNicolsonTimeSetter {
             enum { isTimeDependent = constant };
         };

just go ahead and do it with my blessing :)

Other issues: first of all, thanks again for the porting (by the way, did 
that include the Python module as well?)
On <limits> and <sstream>: they were the main problems also in our 
own  attemps (kind of weak ones, actually) to get it to compile with g++. 
What I had in mind but didn't have the time to implement was that the use 
of sstream should be confined to dataformatters.h/cpp - and there we could 
use the good old sprintf instead. Is that what you have done? For what 
concerns limits, I had barely started to think about it. But now I guess 
I'll just look at your code :)

Bye for now,
                 Luigi
