We are both working on variations of the same idea. As such, I have fixed 
several errors in my code making it operate better as a basic_string 
interface and have seperated the safe_string.hpp file into the appropriate 
headers (fsstring.hpp for string.h, fsstdio.hpp for stdio.h and fswchar.hpp 
for wchar.h). I have also posted BoostBook format documentation to the libs 
section.

However, we are still no closer to deciding which implementation to choose. 
We can either:
[1] Choose one implementation and drop the other (possibly collaborate);
[2] Continue both and put them against each other to see which is better;
[3] Drop both and develop one together from scratch.

Option [3] is not viable, since a lot of the hard work has already been done 
(size issues, etc.). I would like the implementation we use to be mine and 
I'm sure John feels the same way about his. I am also getting to the stage 
where I am considering putting mine up for review (once I get the tests 
written).

What do other people think?

Regards,
Reece
