Hi,
I am a Program Manager on the Visual C++ Team.  We are interested in 
your experiences of using third-party C++ libraries and library 
collections. More specifically,
1. Which third-party libraries do you use?
2. If you cannot use Visual C++ with these libraries, what are the 
causes of this?  For example, does the library require partial 
template specialization support? Do other issues also prevent you 
from using the library with Visual C++?
3. If you are a library developer, what workarounds or design 
constraints were required for compatibility with Visual C++? What 
were the most significant ones? Did the workarounds or constraints 
have performance impacts?
4. Are you mainly a "consumer" or "producer" of  library templates?
I hope to hear from you, and shall summarize the replies if they are
numerous.
