My guess is that Comeau found it expedient to use a pre-existing set of
library and header files -- e.g. the Lattice libraries. I base this guess on
a case of parallel evolution in the Xenix world, where you STILL need the
SCO Software Development System even if you are using Gnu CC or C++, because
the libraries and includes just haven't been Gnu-ified yet.
Sound like a reasonable hypothesis?
