Well.. what I had meant was if you used the GNU c++ libraries...
I was unclear because I was tired when I wrote that.. sorry to confuse 
you more... ;)   So you have nothing to worry about unless youre using 
libg++.a...  If you are.. you simply make an object file someone could 
relink with their own libg++.a...  It's that simple..
