Yeah, something like that. wx has a cool string class that looks almost
like ANSI's.

There are possible workarounds. E.g. some German apps have:
Beim Kompilieren der Datei "script.txt" ist ein Fehler aufgetreten:
Es ist nicht gen�gend RAM verf�gbar.
I'm sure something like that would work in any language.

A cross-platform routine in the same nature as ParamText or vsprintf(), yes.

Oh? Great! That was in none of my books. Good technique, leave it in
there. But we should make it a convention not to mix and mingle member
initializing and constructor calls, i.e.
MyClass::MyClass( p1, p2 )
: subClass(p1), subClass(p2)
mMemberVar(p1), mMemberVar(p2)
a second line for those.

Well, it's in a mamber variable, and not one of the parents of our class.
We should make sure we separate that so people can immediately discover
missing constructor calls without having to wade through dozens of member
variables. Agreed? Separate lines like above, maybe with a comment between
them, should suffice.
