LyX is ready, LString is a true subset of STL string, not completely
adhereing to the standard, but that is just nit-pick. It is only
recently that the SGI implementation of the STL has included a STL
string, so it might be that current/new versions of egcs has a true
STL string included. I think to test for stl/bastring.h should be ok
bor old egcs/gcc versions. (if they have it it is not good)
