I guess this will break backward compatibility, won't it?

Even GCC 2.96 supports the modern C++ style headers:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] cat hello.cpp
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main (void)
{
  cout << "Hello world" << endl;
  return 0;
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] g++ --version
2.96
[EMAIL PROTECTED] g++ hello.cpp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ./a.out
Hello world
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Considering we are going to have 4.3 sometime soon, I do not think we
should bother too much about losing backwards compatibility. :-)

ooops... shame on me! :-)
I thought that only the C++ headers (like iostream) were backward
compatible and not the C headers!

then I'll surely have to switch to the new headers

thanks
