I don't think we want to maintain our own version of the GNU C++ library. The right approach IMO would be to port it to Windows (if it hasn't been done already) and submit patches back to the main libstd++ tree. Then we can tell people to build the Windows version under Winelib.
Right. Hands were writing on their own. What I meant was to include a (hopefully unmodified) copy of the libstdc++, and itegrate it in our build process. This way, C++ apps have the runtime available, just like C apps do. I'm downloading the lib as I write, and I'll look at what it takes to compile it under Winelib, but I don't think it's fair to subject C++ apps to a complicated build process just to get the runtime going, which everybody assumes it's just 'there'.
