RE: cgicc compile on HP-UX 11.11 using aCC

I'll try to address your two issues separately:

I'll be happy to incorporate the changes, but I have a few questions to
help clear things up in my head.

Is there a way with aCC to tell the compiler type?  For example, if at
configure time cgicc detects g++ it enables some verbose warnings and
things of that nature.  But I need to know a command line switch and the
output so I can grep for a version string or type information.  Just
something simple like

% aCC -v

which produces 

HP C++ compiler ...

Or something that will uniquely identify that compiler so I can
selectively enable the switch.

I'm not sure that MStreamable.cpp needs to have those macros- my general
approach is that in longer cpp files I will use those macros, but in
shorter files like MStreamable I use the CGICCNS macro which usually
expands to 'cgicc::', which should take care of the scoping.  I'm not
sure why it didn't work.  If you look at the pre-processed output is
there actually a namespace qualifier in front of the streaming operator?

Thanks for the info!
