--- Comment #8 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-01-03 18:04:04 UTC --- There's a suggestion at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2011-01/msg00001.html to use a URL and let the catalog resolve that to a local file, which would mean no need to test for the file (I'm not sure how to test for the feature in that case though)
