	Microsoft provides a template preprocessor.  To use it, you write your
template definition, and run the preprocessor with some command line switches
to tell it which instantiation you need.  This produces compilable C++ code.
It's up to you to keep track of which instantiations you need.  As I recall,
it supports class templates but not function templates.
