Developers Studio is a stripped down version of CodeWarrior Pro.  It 
only has CodeWarrior for Mach-O compilers and linkers for 
C/C++/Objective C/Objective C++.

There is no Java support, no command line tools, no cross compilers, no 
PEF/CFM compilers.

You still need to download the Apple developers Tools to use it.

Boost will have to configure itself differently depending upon whether 
you are using BSD C or MSL C.  BSD C is only available under Mach-O.  
MSL C is available under Mach-O and PEF.  MSL C++ will set 
_MSL_USING_GCC_C or _MSL_USING_MSL_C depending on which C lib is 
underneath.

Alternatively you can test for __MSL__ which is defined as the version 
number if MSL C has been included, and for __MSL_CPP__ which will  be 
defined if MSL C++ has been included.  Both of these latter version 
numbers will always increase in value with time.
