If someone gave you such an implementation, what would you do with it?
Your compiler would not be able to compile it, as many features are
specified that aren't supportable by current compilers.

But there simply aren't huge numbers of people putting out free C++ system
libraries.  Other than the HP STL release and the FSF/Cygnus releases of
C++ libraries for GNU C++, together with a few small bits here and there,
what you're asking for is not available.  This kind of development costs
money, either from customers (e.g. you pay for it), support contracts and
donations, or research funding (for the freely available parts).
