I'd like (I think) to use some of the libg classes in NeXT apps.  However,  
while I can build C++ (with libg) or Objective C programms seperately, I'm  
not having much luck mixing them together.  I'm using libg++-1.39.0 and  
looking at the sample Calculator program. I'm getting complaints when the  
appkit headers include things like math.h which end up coming out of the  
g++includes.

Having screwed around with this for a while, I'm wondering if it's worth  
the effort.  All I REALLY want is a String object :).  I'd hoped that libg  
would be a nice source of reliable software components, but I'm wondering  
if adding it in to the mix will really end up making my life harder.  Has  
anybody else mixed libg stuff in with the appkit or dbkit in production  
code?  Is it worth the effort?
