Hello J.T.,

Zero configurations use it by default thus the current bit rot.  If
you got it working on mainline, then the patch would be acceptable
without much question.  Here was the status on "20 Feb 2003":

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2003-02/msg00324.html

I looked into working on it but never was motivated...
