Is (Apache, MySQL, OpenSSL, OpenLDAP, OpenOffice) C++ projects ?.
Do they use templates ?

With my IBM's VAC3 I can't even compile things like

template<class C>
Range<C>
Range<C>::intersection (Range const &rhs)
{ Range<C> result (XMAX(start, rhs.start), XMIN(end, rhs.end));
     return result;
}

Compiler wants
Range<C>::intersection (Range<C> const &rhs)
