For our use it's not and I welcome any patches/help.

It may be missed opportunity for getting a larger userbase and a moot 
point anyway.  Specifically FBSD - When trying to push it as part of c++ 
stack replacement or part of ports the only objection I got was 
licensing related.  (At this point they could also argue missing c++11 
support)  Their original FUD was not something I could easily overcome.  
While STDCXX is at Apache it will never be BSD licensed.  Solution - 
move it away from Apache foundation and have them transfer some of the 
additional rights they received to allow recipient foundation to 
relicense.  I thought this would be a win for the project and everyone, 
but for some reason instead of opening a discussion to transfer - it's 
just death grip and pushing to the attic.
