First off, please don't direct such questions directly at me. Rather 
ask them on the scummvm-devel mailing lists.

Currently it is not "allowed" to use the Std C++ lib (which contains 
the STL), in fact it's not possible because of a conflict between our 
operator new/delete and the ones defined in the Std C++ lib (although 
we should now be in a position were we can get rid of those, we've been 
working towards that for some time). Besides that, I think it would be 
OK to use Std C++ lib inside a backend; but the current consensus is to 
keep it out of the central parts.

Cheers,
