OK, so on Windows it then uses the stlport library shipped with LO (if at all; 
I guess it also is possible that all STL code it uses comes from headers?)

I think so, yes. Especially if we install it in the same folder where the 
stlport dll gets installed so that no PATH manipulation is necessary.

We certainly don't want to start loading the stlport dll dynamically in the 
custom action and look up the STL entry points needed, as they presumably are 
overridden operators and whatnot that have horrible mangled names, and it would 
be extremely, eh, interesting, to call such through pointers and totally defeat 
the purpose of using STL in the first place;)
