+/**
+ *  @file    aix_hack_for_main.cpp
+ *
+ *  $Id$
+ *
+ *  This file is simply to force the Makefile to compile Main.cpp
+ *  before it's needed in a test program that requires templates.
+ *  Why is this needed? Because AIX Visual Age C++ has a template
+ *  instantiation mechanism unlike any other in the way it remembers
+ *  where templates are needed. We've previously worked around this
+ *  by forcibly deleting the tempinc directory before compiling each
+ *  test's source file. This worked because every test was in one file.
+ *  When Main.cpp was added, this broke the scheme. This file simply
+ *  gets Main.cpp to compile, then the resulting Main.o can be reused
+ *  for each test, and it's again safe to delete the tempinc directory
+ *  before each test compile.
+ *  Hopefully, MPC will save us from this wretchedness...
+ *
