At Nevrax, we had the same problem. We threw the Microsoft supplied
libraries out of the window completely, and used STLPorts (but then,
we went the GNU route. I don't fully remember if STLPorts is GPL,
meaning your program would have to be GPL, or LGPL, meaning it
doesn't).

Anyway, the only way we had to have STL, well, be Stl, was to go
third party.

(of course, that means no MFC, but that's not a problem if you're
doing a game with its own interface; you don't need MFC)
