Personally I wouldn't bother with this. But if you need map, I would
recommend the very very hackish way:
UT_Pair
in order to allow the use of HBITMAP as 'value', sprintf(buf,"%x",handle) it
(to get string representation) and then, at exit, do sscanf(buf,'%x",&handle)
to get the original value of handle.
IMO it's rather reasonable to use this apporach, especially since performance
is not an issue in your case.
Of course moving to STL is much better solution - but it seems we can't
afford it.
