[boost] Re: [iostreams] Link errors on msvc-stlport with dynamic runtime

    This is a MSVC6 bug. When you export a class from a dll the linker try 
to find all class methods within the import library and of course fails for 
the template methods. Latest STLport library, the 5.0 beta you can get from 
CVS using STLPORT_5_0 branch, has a workaround for the std::locale and 
std::basic_string classes so your library should build fine with this 
version.

    Moreover it would be very usefull if boost was using the STLport 5.0 
beta library for its unit tests with some platform/compilers. If you are 
interesting don't hesitate to contact me for information on STLport new 
features and modifications.
