I tested applying this patch to CVS HEAD today and compiling
with --enable-cplusplus with gcc 4.2:

$ ldd postmaster
...
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7bf9000)
...

Then I ran pgbench and played with a table with a UUID column. Performance
was great.

(I first mistakenly applied it against a not-up-to-date source-tree ---
something from mid-September --- and that ended up not compiling.)

I still have not tried this with my own C++ code, but it seems to have less
impact on the build process than some might have feared.
