Hello Matt, 

I was about to ask you the same question.  From auto_ptr implementation,
I realized that it is quite different from what is defined in the standard.
I re-implemented auto_ptr according to the ANSI/ISO document. 

About other STL classes, it is quite a lot of work to switch to SGI
implementation.  Currently, old HP implementation goes with Cint
and this is only for interpretation. Sometime in future, I need to
switch this. For precompiled library (lib/prec_stl/*), things should 
reasonably match the standard.  

Thank you
Masaharu Goto
