I would really prefer to see a more general implementation of TR1 that 
is not only usable for GCC. It has often been suggesteded in this group 
to implement such a library as a part of boost, and IMO this would also 
be the right place for it (IIRC, for some TR1 libraries a simple 
configuration of the namespace could be sufficient)

Of course, every compiler implementer is free to write his own TR1 
library now, but I'm not sure if this makes much sense!

Furtermore, it could be a good decision to wait another 2 weeks until 
TR1 has reached its final state.
