Done, as issue C-15.

On looking at the current routines, it strikes me that, since they
only do construction and destruction, it makes no sense for the
__cxx_vec_ctor to have a NULL constructor, nor for __cxx_vec_dtor to
have a NULL destructor, as suggested by the comments.  Am I missing
something?
