That's only a temporary solution, though.  The "new" way is to
#include <vector>, and access the classes via their proper
'namespace'.  Namespaces are one of the few new features of ANSI C++
that were not yet (properly) implemented in GCC before version 3.0.
Now they are, and your sources will have to use them. 

I.e. instead of

	#include <vector.h>
	vector<int> myVector;

you're now supposed to code

	#include <vector>
	std::vector<int> myVector;

or

	#include <vector>
	using namespace std;
	vector<int> myVector;

I didn't refer to the STL docs.  But rather to the DJGPP-specific
READMEs that came with your GCC 3.0.* zipfiles.  Or to the general GCC
docs and "whatsnew" notes, for that matter.
