There is some work going on here at boost, and I hope others will answer 
you in more detail about that.

But there is one thing that you and other HP users need to do yourself, and 
that is to complain loud and clear to HP that their compiler needs to be 
fixed so that it will work with modern libraries like Boost. Be sure to 
specifically name Boost in your complaint.

HP is one of the few remaining compiler suppliers which seems to have major 
problems with the Boost libraries. Most of the others are tracking Boost 
carefully, and fixing compiler problems that surface as a result.

The compiler people don't necessarily care about Boost, but they do care 
about complaints from customers. So let them know that Boost is one of the 
ways you judge their performance.
