>What version of the STL source is going to be in the standard?

None of the currently-available versions of STL are identical
to what is in the draft C++ standard. The final version of STL
will probably require features that few, if any, C++ compilers
currently support. Versions of STL reasonably close to what will
be the standard are currently available (for popular compilers)
from several sources, some commercial, some free. By "reasonably
close" I mean that code using those versions of STL probably
will not need to be changed when compiled against standard-
conforming C++ libraries when those become available. (The
C++ Standard is not yet complete, so no implementation can
accurately claim to be conforming.)
