Well, now libstdc++ is allowed, right? (assuming you can find and 
install one, since nobody's stepped forward with mingwlibs-for-cygwin 
package).

Not having looked at Jason's code, I can't comment on the design; 
however, it shouldn't be terribly difficult to refactor it away from STL 
and just use "basic" libstdc++ stuff, right?  I mean, Jason didn't go 
absolutely template-crazy, did he?

Or am I showing my ignorance again?
