The standard C++ target is for command-line/console applications, and generally speaking, it'll run on all major desktop operating systems. The 'STDCPP' target (As it's known internally through the 'TARGET' pre-processor variable) is used by Monkey's translator/compiler, and it's used by many people for game servers and tools.
