I don't know about GCC's implementation, but just in general, STL is
one of the hottest things in the C++ world right now. It's a whole
bunch of complex container classes created as templates, so you can
automagically contain just about anything. Even includes some really
sophisticated btree-ish stuff (based on a red/black tree).
I would suspect you'd probably need the very latest GCC to get
competant support for STL. You may need to fetch and build it
yourself. (Once again speaking as someone who hasn't investigated how
much of it comes with FreeBSD or NetBSD, but suspecting that if they
had it at all, it would be an older version.)
