Okay, attached is a completed version of that patch. The link failures
turned out to be due to some pieces still missing. And the assembler
weirdness has gone away with a new snapshot of the compiler (dated
2006-05-06).
I'm undecided: check that in or check in the other alternative that
basically makes all containers std::allocator<ex> based? In any case, I
don't think this is anything for the 1.3 branch since it changes the
signature of everything containing a GiNaC::lst. Maybe toss a coin?
-richy.
