PSARC/2008/549 - Apache Standard C++ Library

[Garrett D'Amore]

I'm not sure if members of other ARCs (LSARC) can derail PSARC cases.  
If so, then no problem here.  If not, please take this message as 
indicating that I am derailing this case (in other words, if John can't 
derail it, then I can.)

As one of the more vociferous detractors for this case, it probably 
would be a good idea to CC me on the conversation between Stefan and Steve.
