Summary: C++ commercial support

Oasys Systems has been advertising commercial support for C++ in a variety
of systems; in particular using Lattice C on the IBM PC.

It would be relatively simple bring up C++ under Lattice C for the ST;
Oasys just has to be convinced that it is worth the effort to do so.

None of the other ST C compilers (especially Alcyon C which comes with the
developers kit) would be usable back-ends for C++; the backend compiler
the AT&T released C++ frontend REALLY!!! needs at least 32 significant
characters in names.  To my knowledge, Lattice C (using the GST linker)
is the only ST C compiler that can support 32 significant characters in names.
