Boost could greatly benefit from some sort of compile farm where Boosters 
could submit code and get immediate results. Those of us who run x86 systems 
are lucky enough to have many compilers available to test our code, including 
(perhaps arguably) the best (Comeau) and the worst (MS, Borland); even so, I 
would jump at the chance to try my code against other compilers on other 
platforms prior to formal review.
