I can't seem to find any documentation on templates with
g++, does it actually support them?  If so can someone
please point me in the direction of some documentation.

Also, is there any other documentation on g++ other than 
that supplied with the compiler?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it does (in V2.2.2), though it's still buggy.  Use the 
ARM [1] for reference.

The only documentation I have found is in the 1.4x release, which
is at least a year old.

Here is some email I received from Michael Tiemann, having asked 
the same question (almost):
