Yeah right -- You still have to fight to get the same code to compile
with g++ and SunPro CC (and other so-called standard compilers), to
wit:

/* Stoopid standards... */
#if defined(__SUNPRO_CC) && (__SUNPRO_CC >= 0x500)
#define FMT_FLAGS ios_base::fmtflags
#elif (defined(__GNUG__) && (__GNUG__ > 2)) || (defined(__INTEL_COMPILER) && (__INTEL_COMPILER >= 700))
#define FMT_FLAGS std::_Ios_Fmtflags
#else
#define FMT_FLAGS long
#endif

Perhaps there is a better way.

Automake/autoconf are your friends.
