As maintainer of MySQL++ (which relies heavily on STL), I agree.  GCC 
has taken over the POSIX world in recent years, and the remaining 
compilers have gotten much better.  The only compilers I'm still getting 
problem reports about are third-tier things like the MinGW GCC port, and 
the freebie Borland compilers.

Months ago, I removed support in the library for USL CC -- the C++ 
compiler shipped with old UnixWare and Solaris systems -- and haven't 
heard a single peep of complaint.
