Take a look at STLPort. Its more compliant, and orders of magnitude
faster on some operations (strings are about 5 times faster I
believe). It also drops into DevStudio without any trouble. Its also
properly cross platform I believe so it should be easily portable -
which is nice when you see how MS had to fudge to get locales
working properly (*ahem* macros).
I think it might restore your faith.
