That is sweet.  You're now beating my Java code by a few milliseconds
:-).  I have to remove the <char> templatization on string before I
can compile though.  Why is that?

gcc vesion 4.0.2 (Ubuntu...)

The output of "g++ uniq.cpp -o u" is:
uniq.cpp:8: error: 'std::string' is not a template

Once I remove the <char> portion of the declaration, all is well.
