A couple of initial points:

1)  I've removed gcc-gnats from the To: header.  That list isn't what I
think you think it is.  :-)

2)  Please turn off that annoying autoresponder you have hooked to your
email.  If I wanted to know whether my message reached you, I'd use the
return-receipt-requested header and let the mailservers do the work.

It's critically important.  Have a look at include/Makefile.am.

(Summary:  the .h version is partially autogenerated.)

Before you spend too much time hacking code, you should write up what
exactly you plan to do, and send it to the libstdc++ list.  It would truly
be a pity if you wasted your time.

    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2001-06/msg00513.html

was the most recent summary of this.
