It's sufficiently hard that it's worth paying the $149 to buy a commercial
version that has already been ported. There's lots of little features in
STL that won't compile on various Cfront-based compilers (e.g., nested
typedefs in template classes, use of qualified types nested in template
parameters, overloading of function templates etc etc). Also, STL requires
instantiation-on-demand which causes problems with some of the inline
template functions in the source (on some Cfront-based compilers).

Such a port has been done by ObjectSpace.  Their claim is that it works with
Cfront 3.0 (or is it only 3.0.2?)
