Their are IMHO many problems with different STL implementations
and different C++ compilers and so on.
Today STL is very nice to use on one system and with one compiler.
If you would like to support more compilers and plattforms then problems
will occours. Problems are starting at the point of different include
files conflicts with other include files (gcc)  and end with different
template syntax (gcc) etc.
