There is no updated redistributable for variant<>, sorry. Most (all?) of the
incompatibilities are due to name changes in MPL between 1.29 and its
"public" release in 1.30.

I haven't yet put variant into the main CVS since there are still some
non-trivial changes to be made (allowing 'void' content, etc.). What is
policy on this? Should I add to main CVS and make changes? Or should I try
to first stabilize the implementation?

Thanks,
