Templates are allowed and working in the kernel - they don't rely on 
any additional runtime libraries.
But the rest is true, you have to compile your code without exceptions 
or RTTI. Therefore, you should use "KernelStaticLibrary" to compile a 
static library for use in the kernel.
Just have a look at other Jamfiles or our Jamrules directly, and you'll 
find lots of useful information.

Adios...
