Not so.  The InterViews C++ library, for one, is distributed in a form which
allows it to be built with g++ but not libg++.  Admittedly, without libg++
you'll probably want some alternative library of functions, but the InterViews
stream classes and the NIH C++ (OOPS) library are both in the public domain,
and get you pretty far.  And if you want to fork over the $$ to AT&T for a C++
source license, you could try compiling the AT&T libraries with g++.
