As I can remeber, VC++6 had problems with template support. This leaded 
to a problem in the Blitter implementation because there templates are 
used. I once made a workaround for this, which worked, but was very 
nasty in coding style. That's why it never came into the CVS version. If 
someone needs it, I can send the patch to the list again, just tell me...

Yep, that was just the point... I've tried, but failed :-(((
