C++0x library that implements move for fstreams

Question

After finding the answer to How to return an fstream (C++0x), I was now wondering if there is a current c++0x library that implements move (or even swap) for fstreams (as gcc (27.9) does not). I'd prefer if it was free also.

Or is there any other way return to fstreams from functions by value?

I've tried compiling libcxx but it seems very linux/mac specific, and I need it to run on Solaris also, which it wouldn't compile on.

I can work around this issue (return by reference for example), but I thought I'd ask this just in case there was a solution that doesn't involve modifying the calling code.

The C++ Standard Library that ships with Visual C++ 2010 has moveable streams. — James McNellis, Feb 02 '11 at 00:54
Thank you for attempting libcxx. There is interest in porting it but such work is in the early stages. Volunteers to port welcome! — Howard Hinnant, Feb 02 '11 at 00:54

I believe Dinkumware sells a version of the C++ Standard Library with movable streams, but be sure to check it first.

Apparently (from the comments) James McNellis has checked it out and agrees with you. – Matthieu M. Feb 02 '11 at 07:41
