That is a matter of who's going to write the patch, and how good it
looks.

Hmm.  So it is really just source-file.cc?  In that case, I'd suggest
to do something like:

source-file.cc:

#if HAVE_SSTREAM
#include <sstream>
#else
#include <strstream> // or what have you?
#define stringstream strstream    // or whatever, maybe with parameters?
#define istringstream istrstream  // or whatever..
#define 
#endif

Would you like to produce a patch?  I'll take care of the HAVE_SSTREAM
macro in configure.in, if you like.

Greetings,
Jan.
