Among the posix world, the c++ abi has been well defined for over a 
decade.  The output from every major c++ compiler has been 
interchangeable for a long time now.  Windows and oddball compilers are 
the only hold outs that I'm aware of.  It's a mistake that the D 
compilers are making (and will address at some point in the not terribly 
distant future).
