Sounds good to me.  I'll fix it when I get a chance.

looks good.  I had to replace the tarballs, so if you could fix the link to
download, that would be great.  Maybe it should just go to the sourceforge
download page.

Sorry, didn't have a good answer to give.  I do see peoples' point of view when
it comes to things like template bloat.  It can really blow things up, we've
got executables around here that have gone from 7 meg to 23 meg just by
switching to g++ from HP c and adding a little STL.  Even though the standard
has been around for quite a while, compilers are still working on simple
compliance rather than good compliance.  So my personal opinion is to keep
things working the way they are, when g++ v3 stabilizes, I think they'll start
making some good inroads into these STL problems.  Out of curiosity, what are
the sizes you show for the example programs and libs?

On Windows 2K (release mode), I've got the following chart:
SOMELib.lib        -> 221k

TestApp.exe          -> 32k
BasicTestLib.dll    -> 32k

complexmenu.exe  -> 56k
Johncomplex.dll    -> 32k
Kathycomplex.dll  -> 28k

helloworld.exe       -> 28k
hello_plugin.dll      -> 28k

simplemenu.exe     -> 44k
johnswritings.dll    -> 32k
kathyswriting.dll    -> 24k

I was going to put the hpux results up, but I can't build on hpux at the time
being :(
