What you are suggesting is having two different installs, something I
don't want. I read the FAQ, and there was mention of a "patch" for lfn
under NT. Anyone tried it? How does it work for you?

If one header file mentions <streambuf.h> and I have a streambu.h file
on my disk, it should find it? Or do I have to manually edit the header
containing <streambuf.h> to include <streambu.h> instead? Like I said
earlier, I want one install, not many, and one set of source code, not
many. Is that too much (or too little) to ask?
