Nathan, it's not really this way. Deque depends on features which, perhaps (not
necessarily, what do you think of my just posted RFA?) soon will be moved to
ext/memory.

backward/algo.h, on the other hand, used to provide some (extension) bits from
std:: than now have been properly moved to ext/algorithm inside __gnu_cxx.

I don't know if this makes the whole issue clearer...

But what about Gaby point about the strongly deprecated build_dir == src_dir ??

Cheers,
