[tlbuild] Testing cxx-runtime-hack -- V 1.1

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Doesn't compile on linux-ppc. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I  
found the README both unncessarily convoluted and lacking essential  
information. Here's what  I get:

% make
Making all in am-lt
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/BLD/am-lt'
make  all-am
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/BLD/am-lt'

file or directory
../../cxx-test-1.1/am-lt/cxx-test.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
../../cxx-test-1.1/am-lt/cxx-test.cpp:8: error: ‘cout’ was not  
declared in this scope

make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/BLD/am-lt'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/BLD/am-lt'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

iostram.h is, according to this page http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-4.3/porting_to.html 
  , a deprecated header; it is referred to, among other places, in am- 
lt/configure
