I have CBX developer with the preview version of the new compiler.  It 
uses EDG front-end and a new back-end along with DinkumWare for the STL.

I have hacked about boost 1.30.2 and had lambda working fairly 
succesfully under limited testing so is an improvement over 5.6.4.

When I get time, I shall 'methodically' make changes to boost so it 
builds with the new compiler and post back with more information.  May 
not happen for a while, though.

But initially, the new compiler looks very promising compared to the 
current one.

Thanks
