Yes, but we release soon.  So hacks are were welcome.
I want to really clean things up afterwards.

I think it's more like implementing something that works quickly.
And templates are difficult.  I read about the "export" keyword,
but this might take years until it will be standard.

I don't have much time to install this version, and I don't want
to do it anyway, because I'll have to look up how to do it without
removing my actual version.  I'm using gentoo, so gcc is part of
package managing.

Anyway I think glob2 is older than gcc 3.3 .  Might turn out that
something else caused the problems.

I need a list.  And I need you to test my changes in cvs afterwards.
Bradley wants to release tomorrow.  So there is really not much time.
And I even don't know if I'll have time this evening to care about it.
