More evidence that C++ is the work of the Devil

libstdc++ is the project providing Darwin's standard C++ library. (You can't criticise the naming, anyway.) The binary root (.tar.gz) is 36.7Mb. Decompressed, it's 196Mb. Thinned down to only its i386 version this falls to 176Mb. 5.6Mb of this is the libraries. Yes, that's almost 170Mb of headers and docs.



I've produced a special libstdcxx_libs root for use in the code Darwin installation I'm working on. You can thank me later.
