To be compatible with system-supplied or third-party C++ libraries, which
will have their names mangled in the way cfront likes, but not g++.  To be
compatible with what AT&T says is Proper, which is not necessarily what the
g++ folks think is Proper (and with good reason, too, most of the time 8-)).
To get a compiler that is supported by a pretty good bunch of folks (the
people at SCO Canada [pka HCR] are bright, and there are more of them
working on the devsys than there were of us [when I was at SCO]).  (Hmm...
g++ is also supported by a *very* bright bunch of people; however, their
goals are not necessarily to support SCO *nix.  SCOCan's is.)
