Good idea. And one easily usable by all. But, for your own use, you might just
modify specs file in djgpp/lib directory. You may create a new command-line
switch for gcc if you want (to avoid having these libraries checked for link
everytime) or make it specific for all C++ apps (although not all of them have
to use iostreams). If you want to see an example of how to modify specs - see
RSXNTDJ1.ZIP in gnu/djgpp/v2tk dir.
Again, this method is rather for experienced users ;-)))
