	My understanding of this is that there's currently a disagreement
	about the means/design(?) of template instantiation. If you want
	to use a template repository, you'll need the repo patch.

	I use (quite happily) the standard gcc distribution and explicitly
	instantiate my instances.

	Mike Stump at Cygnus could give you all the gory details.
