I ran two parallel builds, using egcs-1.1.2 and gcc-2.97-<something>,
before going off to lunch, and looks like *both* finished. I'll do
some quick checks, but looks like we can support both pre- and ISO
compilers with just a few tweaks. I'll send off the patches this
evening.

The saving grace here is JWE's work on not having to depend on the
various extensions provided by libg++ (vform, scan, etc).
