+- Added STL support (--enable-stl for configure, wxUSE_STL in setup.h).
+  When enabled, wxString will derive from std::string, wxArray from,
+  std::vector, wxList from std::list. In addition wxHashTable will be
+  implemented in terms of wxHashMap.
+- Added wxList::compatibility_iterator. Can be used like wxNode* (except
+  it can't be delete()d). It permits writing code which will work
+  both with wxUSE_STL==1 and wxUSE_STL==0.
