So with the corrections I made to my test String program, I just managed to
test the libstdcxx string class ! That was what I was afraid of !
I wasn't sure of that because I couldn't find any trace of concatenation
with + in libstdcxx .

I will keep trying to understand why linking with the libgpp String class
failed.

I hope libstdcxx will soon have an "unlimited" integer class and an
"unlimited" random integer generator class.

Yes, I have a good description of the libgpp in HTML but it lacks of a few
short samples to test if installation is OK.

Thanks again for your help, Manni.
