can I use SGI STL string class under g++/libstdc++?

[Benjamin Kosnik]

I thought the two bits were:

1) stl/stl_alloc.h: -- for now, works with _PTHREADS defined 
2) bits/bastring.h: release() -- needs the port to v3.

...

??

(the port seems pretty straightforward)

In anycase, I don't think ref counting will make a difference in the 
stringstream classes. You can just run "make check" with the modified 
string class , and if things start failing then it's obvious that 
something is not right.
