[irrtoolset]Making IRRToolSet compile...

Dear Havard,

All information about IRRToolSet and supported platforms is available at:

http://www.ripe.net/db/irrtoolset

You can also find link to ftp site there.

The development platform ( for last 2 years at least) was Linux PC 
using gcc-2.95.3 and libstdc++-2.9.0. I haven't seen any compilation problems there.

There are binaries available for FreeBSD, Solaris and Linux (see ftp site).

Unfortunately we don't have NetBSD platform here to use it as a test platform;
If you manage to compile with patches you supply on your NetBSD, we can incorporate
them into the source code (however I can't test it here myself).

Please also note that IRRToolSet-4.8.1 supports RPSLng, so you might need a IRR 
server which supports RPSLng too. See RELEASE-NOTES for further details.

Hopefully it will be helpful.

Which version of libstdc++ are you using?

assign() is a standard STL function (as insert, erase) to operate with STL 
vectors. I do have it in my STL libraries, but maybe you don't?
Could it be deprecated? :( I shall look what could be used instead.
Thanks for highlighting this issue!
