Regarding C++, I seem to remember something about problems with
certain libraries from system to system, but those libraries are
things the true-blue C++ guys tend to use a lot of.  STL maybe?  Is
this something we can avoid entirely in order to run on more
platforms or will it be a continual problem?  What about other C++
libraries, are they fairly compatible across platforms?
