Jens is using a script that I copied to the boost upload area
a while ago.

In contrast to ISOCXX, my script is very light-weight
(less than 100 non-comment lines of Python code), much
less ambitious, therefore a lot easier to maintain
and IMO more suitable as an intermin workaround in the spirit
of Beman's comment
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/message/11111).
