Many of Stroustrup's exercises are either of the "hello world" variety, 
which the OP says he's moved beyond, or "unfocused" in the sense that you 
don't end up with a useful program at the end of the exercise. Perhaps you

could specify which of the exercises you had in mind, that would be 
suitable for the OP's requirements?

See above - OP wants projects that *do not* require system-specific code.
