Yes, Cygwin uses the egcs compiler which has very good C++ standard compliance
compared to most compilers (especially on Windows systems - who knows when
Microsoft will fix their template support in Visual C++). I have noticed that
the C++ standard library isn't quite complete (for instance, no <valarray>),
but for the most part it's there. One other question: shouldn't
there be an <sstream> header, or has this been replaced by <strstream>?
