Cool, and thanks :-)

But while we are in this subject... Over the weekend I made a bunch of 
license+copyright fixes in the Boost.Build files (and a few others). 
Since there where many files to fix I used a shell script that extracted 
the author information from the CVS logs and inserted the 
copyright+license text into the files mostly automatically. One part 
that prevented me from fixing more files was the absence of a blanket 
permission for some people 
<http://www.boost-consulting.org/boost/more/blanket-permission.txt>.

So if your name is not in that list, and you want to have others do such 
license+copyright changes, please take the time to either add your name 
or post to the list giving you permission to add you name to the list.
