Although it might be wise to confirm that your source will still be
compilable on the system at university. For example, I've been developing
some C++ for a software systems engineering project, and our engineering
Unix systems (Suns) have only Sun's compilers (which don't appear to have
the STL) and g++ 2.7.2.x, which won't compile anything written using the
STL etc for 2.8.x in my experience.
Fortunately our CS machines have egcs 2.8.x g++ installed and they
are also Suns, and binary-compatible.
