Yesterday I got sick and tired of remembering to add "-liostr -lm" to my
makefiles for a non-GPL program I'm writing (I kept on forgetting 8) and so
I decided to write a quick replacement for gxx.  It adds all the libraries
you can use in C++ and still keep your program GPL free.  After doing this
I thought other people would find it useful so I commented it (now it's
newbie-friendly :) and here it is!

Enjoy

/*
 * gpp.c
 *
 * Quick wrapper for C++ compilation under DJGPP using only free C++ libs
 * (Use instead of gxx if you don't want your program to be GPL'd)
 * 
 * NOTE: Some symbols in libgpp.a are not in libiostr.a or libstdcx.a
 *       Use of those will give you linker errors if you try to compile
 *       with gpp but not with gxx. (eg. the BitString or list classes).
 *       In that case, you are using Gnu functions/classes and your
 *       program does fall under the Gnu GPL.
 *       Workaround - write the missing functions yourself! ;)
 * 
 * NOTE2:You need the compiler distribution file lgp271b.zip dated
 *       22-Feb-96, earlier ones don't have libstdcx.a!
