Actually the `User's Guide to Gnu C++', which comes with the G++
distribution, explains exactly what the incompatibilites are.
They seem to be minor (mostly needed to support additional G++
capabilities).

I remember reading a reference to InterViews somewhere in the G++
documentation, but I can't find it right now.  (Perhaps a find -exec grep
would help you, I don't have the time right now.)

I'd suggest making sure you have the latest G++ version (1.32.0,
I believe) since the stuff is still changing fairly quickly.
