Re: [boost] py_cpp does not like STLport (STLport bug revealed)

I recently had some problems with STLPort and <typeinfo> when trying to make
it work with some legacy code that included <typeinfo.h>:

Anyway, some changes were made in the latest beta to fix the problem:

So I would see how it goes with the latest beta before cracking your head
against a brick wall (as I did ;-) ).
