Does anyone have thoughts on how difficult it would be to port STL
to compile on a Cfront compiler?

I have taken a class on STL, so I'm very familiar with the difficulty
even the most compilers have with it.  However, I can't
think of anything fundamental about STL which would preclude
porting it to Cfront.  The lack of default template parameters is the 
only deficiency I know which would affect the STL API, and I could
live with that.
