Well, if you have a fix and Jeremy gives his ok, I could apply it.

I don't get this one. Let's analyse the macro as proposed.

#if (defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER <= 1300)) // true for MSVC <=7.0
&& (!defined(_CPPLIB_VER) // true if _CPPLIB_VER not defined
   || (_CPPLIB_VER < 306)) // true if _CPPLIB_VER < 306

This means the macro evaluates to true iff the compiler is MSVC <= 7.0
AND the is no dinkumware lib or it's version is less than 306.

Did I make a mistake, here?
