I am trying to get an overview of proposed enhancements/fixes
for Boost.Python. There is quite a bit to do:

- Replacement of friend converter functions by partially
  specialized template functions (#ifdefs required for MSVC,
  the interface will have to change)

- Integration of Nick Sauters modification for Python 2.1
  rich comparisons

- Returned reference problem 
- An existing bug
  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/message/10144
  (I would opt for a conservative fix; the generated code size
   is quite substantial already)

- Cross-module support for declare_base()

Anything else?
