    There is one element that can be improved when making the tarball (and
maybe the zip) of boost. All VC++ (.dsp & .dsw) project files (obtained from
the tarball)  have unix line ending, which prevents using them directly in
VC++ (you need to convert the line ending to DOS or VC++ will report an
error).

    Adding a step before generating the tarball that correct the line ending
of those specific files would resolve the issue.
