Re: String.h vs string.h bug...

This is a known problem with the beta 17.1 release.  It will be fixed
in the upcoming beta 18 release.

The solution is to rename the conflicting files and then create a map file
for the compiler which maps the correct names to the new names.  Thus
String.h becomes _string.h and header.gcc contains a mapping from
String.h to _string.h.
