I don't know what genclass is, but I've never needed it to handle STL
code.  I just #include whichever stl headers I need, and that's it.
The stl headers don't have any special names, so you can't just look
in include/stl/* or anything.  There is a catch all stl.h, but your
compilations will be a little faster if you only include the stl
headers you need.

Sample stl headers are:

  #include <map>
  #include <vector>
  etc.

I did recompile g++ to include the template repository patch so that I
don't get massive code bloat, but other than that, it's just normal
stl code.

If you want to learn more about STL, I recommend:

        http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/stl/STL.newbie.html
        http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~musser/stl.html

They are both good, and one contains a pointer to SGI's (or HP's, I
can't recall which) online docs.
