        Maybe it could be a compile time option to enable std::string()
        methods. This way one can compile fltk with the option off
        if they don't plan on using std stuff in their apps.

        Supporting it would at least allow strings to be changed
        at runtime without having to call label() again to change it.
        (Just invoke a redraw())

        This would be handy for internationalization.. just changing
        the label's string would be all that's needed, no need to
        have to track down the widget and update its label().
