The mailing list is rather silent at the moment, I would not mind you 
using it. (CC'd it)

freeze is of course only needed for the ugly-API'd strstream. Ugh!

Thank you very much for all your enthusiasm. But I still don't want to 
ditch g++ 2.95 support right now. I still have too many installations 
around (debian/stable). Once woody=stable is past I will give it a go.

I also prepared a 15-line replacement for strstream which compiles on 
2.95 up to 3.4 alike, but found no time to integrate it.
