Have you seen my "thoughts on a GUI library" thread? It is still early
days so I would appreciate any feedback. I am continuing to work on i
and now support code like:

    gui::area client;
    ::GetClientRect( *this, client.native());
    // ...

to allow interoperability between areas, positions, sizes and their
natiive OS representations.

Does this work for Boost.Build (v2) projects? I would like an IDE that
allows you to manage a project written using Boost.Build2 that allows
you to configure user-config.jam and the location of the Boost distribution.

I have written a utility program based on process_jam_log.cpp to output
XML instead of HTML so it can be rendered using a stylesheet or
manipulated. I would like to hook this into an IDE that is
Boost-aware/orientated.
