What do you mean? Have you tried STLport ( www.stlport.org ) or
you are saying STLport is not supported ( and BTW STLport
project is free ) ?
If you have tried STLport - I'l like to know what in particular do you mean by
STL is 'unsupported' ?

If you have not tried STLport - that was your and only your descision to
reinvent the wheel.

Some are paid and some get quite a bit of fame only because they are
participating in something called 'free software'. Some are not only payed,
but also get a lot of fame. There are many different kinds and reasons
why people are participating in 'free' software.

I see. So now there are some brand new holy cows over there, called 'free'
software. ( To me - software is either good, or bad. No matter is it 'free'
or 'not' ).
Somehow you are participating in some marketing-driven attempt to
re-animate some heap of code produced by fulltime developers
who have left some company long time ago. This is your and only
your descision.
I don't understand why now nobody can even *touch* that monster.
Nobody is critisizing you. The statement was:
