minor additions and bug fixes
VA_ARGS compiler-support detection
A couple of small additions.
Documentation still outstanding ... resolved soon. Hopefully.
A few changes and updates to various components, primarily to support the release of recls 1.8.10 (http://recls.org/downloads.html).
The elephant in the living room is still the lack of documentation. It's coming ... honest.
There has been an enormous amount of change in STLSoft from the last release, 1.8.9 (October 2005), to the new release, 1.9.1 (April/May 2007).
Consequently, I just can't muster the effort at this time to detail the entire set of changes. The one big change I will note, however, is that the library files no longer reside in the root directory, e.g.
comstl_bstr_functions.h
and are now in appropriate sub-directories under the sub-project sub-directories, e.g.
comstl/string/bstr_functions.h
