opal & msvc6

i note that pwlib expressly disables stl streams for vc6 in 
pwlib/include/ptlib/msos/ptlib/contain.h :

#if _MSC_VER>=1300
#define __USE_STL__ 1
#endif

but opal uses stl stream syntax in mediaformat.cxx line 333 (CVS):

strm.setstate(ios::badbit);

1/ why the version check for vc7+ ?
is it because of all the std namespace issues ?

2/ can i just wrap the offending line as
#if __USE_STL__
  strm.setstate(ios::badbit);
#else
  strm.setf(strm.flags() | ios:bad);
#endif

i'm still trying to get opal/openphone up on msvc6 :
my oh323 app just worked;

using opal 2.1b0 + pwlib 1.52 / 1.53 + wxWindows 2.42, openphone dies in 
ntdll.dll,  trying to realloc (from PAbstractArray) about 10 seconds 
into voice traffic. This would hint at incompatible crt libraries 
somewhere, but the project options all look ok.

i'm now trying the cvs build, having eliminated everything i can think 
of, and hit this stream problem., which i will code around as above.
