STLPort 4.5.3 compiled with Comeau 4.3.0.1 on Windows?

[Icosahedron]

I'm sure it's been done. I'm sure that I'm an idiot for
even asking the question, but has anyone been successful in
getting Comeau 4.3.0.1 to compile STLPort, or even use
STLPort in a program (using the MSVC7 backend, I should
state)?

There doesn't seem to be any out of the box support for
Comeau on Win32/MSVC7 in STLPort, but that's okay, I would
think, as it does create libraries for MSVC7.

Trying to compile first my app that uses Spirit (which
inspired my purchase of Comeau to begin with), I gave up and
started at ground zero, a simple hello world program:

#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
std::cout << "Hello, world\n";
}

and I can't seem to get it to work. I'm sure it's me. I am
using STLPort because I've used it now for a year and I
really like it, and I don't think I should have to switch
libraries. Everyone seems to think Comeau is great, and I
have no reason to doubt it. If you have been able to get
the above snippet of code to compile, please respond as I'd
love to see your configuration. I'm pulling my hair out.

I won't lengthen and bore you with the details at this
point, though I can if someone responds in the affirmative. I
just want some confirmation that it can be, and has been,
done.

P.S. There are no Comeau or STLPort specific newsgroups wherein
to post this, and there are no answers on Google.

I believe that the "int main(void)" is causing problems.
Instead, try either of the following two options
int main()
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
std::cout << "Hello, world\n";
}

But there is Greg Comeau who (I believe) is happy to help. As soon as you
describe you problem.

Actually, there are mailing lists that should be able to help you. Try
http://www.stlport.org/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi where you probably
want the "Setup" forum. Oh, wait a minute - you've already posted
there... Good luck.

In C++,
int main(void)
is semantically equivalent to
int main()
