We don't "officially" support C++ because Sony isn't officially supporting
it (see "delete()" in libps.h as an example).  However, the Metrowerks
compiler does support C++.  There is a C++ runtime library in the
"unsupported" folder inside CodeWarrior for Net Yaroze 2 (plus stationary
and include files). It's not necessary to use this runtime library however. 
Chris Blackwell has information on his web page as to how to get all of
this running if anyone is interested.

Anyway, since C++ is available, I'll let everyone else debate whether to
use it or not <grin>.
