Michael,
    The current libstdc++ distributed with gcc 2.95.2 is not ISO C++
Standard compliant according to gcc homepage
(http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#known). Implementation of STL included but not
in std:: namespace but in global namespace. I think you should try compare
its compile size with new libstdc++ v3. I think namespaces and many template
things come with some price. :) Anyway, there is no problem to use namespace
as long as you never have a problem with namespace clash, IMHO.

Regards,
Tanes Sriviroolchai
