Ah, that unfortunately was a misunderstanding on my part of the status
of libg++ "String". I thought it was going to be more or less standard,
but apparenlty the GNU pleople don't like those libg++ specific things
themselves. I'm not too sure about what I should use instead of
String (I rahter liked the class), but I believe there's a SGI
STL class that has something similar. Maybe I'll switch some time.

Excactly. I'll have to switch one day anyway. It's just that I'm
not sure what I should use instead of libg++ String. Suggestions
are welcome :).
