There is no official support for boost from Metrowerks.  However I'm 
the C++ lib guy at Metrowerks and I sometimes hang out and see what I 
can do.  I don't usually go poking into the cvs/sandbox areas, but I do 
usually keep a copy of the latest released version of boost installed.

Please feel free to email me a demo case of any problems you find.  If 
it isn't a library issue, I'll forward it on to the compiler team.  The 
more self contained a demo is, the more quickly it will be looked at.  
If it is both self contained, and already stripped down to a minimal 
translation unit, it will be looked at very quickly.  Preprocessing the 
troublesome source, and then paring that down to the minimum which 
still exhibits problems is often the easiest way of creating a 
self-contained, minimal demo.
