Phil, as soon as you are ready with this, please inform me.

I have just committed the changes affecting the existing include/ext (in particular
stl_hashtable.h, which still uses distance(*,*,*))

As soon as you are done with your part of the work I can start moving distance(*,*,*)
to __gnu_cxx and update everything in the light of this.

Thanks,
Paolo.
