RE: Successfully compiled 1.3.1 on AIX 5.2 /w Visual Age C++ 6.0 after some tweaking

In misc.h the pragma pack is wrapped with "#if defined(__GNUC__) || 
!defined(__hpux)" but it isn't in cc++/string.h.  The easiest fix would be to 
wrap it also.

I should add we need a reliablle define to test for VA compiler.  I 
believe we currently use an _AIX macro to detect and select some aix 
specific things, but I would not want to apply that macro check alone as 
some of these changes would break using gcc on aix.  The behavior of 
pragma pack(unpack), for example, is specific to the VA compiler.
