It's a wiki, the address I indicated should lead you directly to it.

It's not really a porting but just a toolset that allows to compile
Boost libraries with the PSP SDK, for those libraries that are
actually compilable without any change. Porting Boost would involve
rewriting some parts of it, like Threads and Filesystem.

I don't quite understand, this line compiles perfectly using
boost4psp. Let me precise that boost4psp uses the unofficial SDK based
on gcc. Don't know anything about the official one, but with this one
there's no limitation about RTTI as far as I know.

No, it's a personal project. Originally I needed it to port a little
3D engine that uses Boost.Signals from PC to PSP.
