You got me wrong. It's not linking against this librariy that cause the use
of templates, it's using some parts of the standard C++ library (that
inherently uses templates) that needs this library. That's why i was led to
believe that some template stuff indeed was included. After looking into
this I found out that this library also contains the wchar_t functions.
Sorry about the confusion.
