I meant, when 3.3 is available on Cygwin. 3.3 works great on my Linux system. It
seems to be working fine with Boost so far, at least for the parts that I use. 
What exactly do you have trouble with when you have used 3.3?  

Has there been any extensive testing yet of 3.3 and Boost? 
 
Do you think that 3.3 will be a problem for me if I build a Cygwin package for
Boost?

Like I said, If I were to build a "real" cygwin package, I would use the most
recent compiler available for Cygwin.
