We don't have anyone testing with the Greenhills compiler at present, so the
compiler config may be a little off, other than that you should have
relatively little trouble (see the config docs for information on testing
and/or setting up a new compiler config).  The only thing that may bite you
is if the compiler lacks exception handling support - some boost libs can be
built without it (regex for example), others not.  You're probably going to
have to experiment a little before you get too involved in your project.
