[GCC-XML] 2 newbie questions about "pseudo"

Hi;

Please note it looks there is a spam filter issue at my mail transfer
agent, so please reply both to me and the list (I failed to get a copy
of my posting to the list)...

The problem with the second one (and presumably the first) is that
while the types are marked as artificial, the variables (the vtables)
are not, so I was getting undefined types.  I don't want to write
Really Clever Software to figure this out, so...

How do I ask for just the top-level namespace named "::" and avoid the
other ones "std" and "__gnu_cxx" ???  "-fxml-start=::" didn't work.

I am trying to take the hint!
