[vtk-developers] vtksys_stl vs std

Folks,

I believe that vtksys_stl was introduced because at one time, stl was
not portable(?).

Can we replace all occurrences of vtksys_stl with std? I'm not
suggesting that we remove vtksys_stl. But it seems a bit confusing to
use it if portability  is no ;longer an issues.

Currently there are over 400 uses of vtksys_stl (outside of KWsys).

std::string vs kwsys_stl::string : 3421 vs 62
std::vector vs kwsys_stl::vector: 2772 vs 96
std::map vs kwsys_stl::map : 891 vs 90
...

Bill
