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.
