Subject: [PATCH] Replace CL_REQUIRE/CL_PROVIDE(cl_R_ring) with portable code.

The order of initialization of non-local objects in different compilation units
is not specified in C++. Hence special care should be taken to avoid static
initialization order fiasco. CLN solved the problem with some evil (GCC
specific, and even GCC-version-specific) hack. Replace it with a technique
similar to one used in STL to initialize std::cout and friends.
