I'm very surprised looking at this library size (no __STL_DEBUG or so - only 
release compilation). Example:

my$ cat main.cpp
#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
  std::cout << "Hello, world !" << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

my$ gcc main.cpp -s -o main_std.exe -lstdcxx
my$ gcc main.cpp -s -o main_stlp.exe -I../../stlport -L../../lib -lstlp -lm
my$ ls -la
-rw-r--r--   1 dosuser  root          107 Feb  8 19:48 main.cpp
-rwxr-xr-x   1 dosuser  root       150528 Feb  8 19:50 main_std.exe
-rwxr-xr-x   1 dosuser  root       757248 Feb  8 19:51 main_stlp.exe

Does this library offer a lot of new functionality comparing to the
Hewlett-Packard version (standard in DJGPP distribution). I see that
only locale (monerary, facets) and sstream functions are new.
I would be very appreciated if somebody would explain why it is so big ?

Sincerely,
Michael
