I think GNU (GNU's Not Unix, ref Software Foundation) have a C++ implementation
that sort of works (ie: bits missing or buggy, hey it's free!). I think it is
called G++, it is here on munnari I think. Been a while since I looked. You
could probably find it close by.

Has anyone used GNU stuff? Is it possible to compile with Minix C? I have heard
that a lot of the stuff is pretty hefty (size, LARGE) and needs at least a Meg
of RAM to run in...... Anyone?
