This is getting beyond me, but it seems to my untutored eye (after looking at 
ustring.h) that gcc-3.3 doesn't like nested class declarations which then 
have templated definitions.  It doesn't seem to realise that the definitions 
are defining specialisations of the previously declared nested class.  I have 
no idea what the standard says about the issue.
