I haven't looked at other GCC ports (except MinGW, which currently
makes no attempt to do it correctly).  Borland C++ 5.5.1 uses essentially
the same method as I've used (except that it has include guards like
__STDIO_H_USING_LIST around the lists of using declarations).  I think
this is the obvious way to do it if all the real content must go in the
<*.h> headers, as is the case with DJGPP.  A C++ compiler that wasn't
also a C compiler would put the using declarations in the <*.h> headers
and everything else in the <c*> headers.
