Remember, using C++ or G++ does not stop you from using the standard C
library.  There is nothing in libg++ that you MUST have.   If the GNU
copyleft does not fit you needs you can alway build your own libg++.

Try replacing libg++ with a dummy library.  I used a single source file
that consisted of the line:

	const char * const LibVersion = "$Revision$;

Now try to compile your programs with g++.  You'll quickly find out what you
need to add to the library.  Need streams, write them.  All it ``costs'' is
your time.  Don't have the time? Use printf or puts, etc.
