I don't think genclass can be put out to pasture just yet.  From my
own experience, g++ still has a long way to go before it can boast
full template support.  I am a heavy user of template classes, and I
have yet to complete a major project using g++ without giving up and
resorting to genclass.

Sure would be nice....  I tried to do this, briefly, but grew weary of
g++ dumping core.  Eventually, I'm sure, the "gen libraries" will be
redone as true template classes.  However, I seriously doubt that is
possible today, under g++-2.x.
