MSVC6 does templates quite well (as long as you do not use "advanced
features" like partial specialisation of templates or member templates).
Newer MSVC version or even more standard conforming.
All other platforms will probably use some gcc port.
With MSVC5 we might run into problems.
Before we reinvent some templated container classes I strongly
suggest to check whether we could use STL.
