Hi Eric, with the new version, I can't even get foreach.hpp to compile. 
  I get the following error on line 308:

[C++ Error] foreach.hpp(308): E2109 Not an allowed type

This is borland C++ bcc32 version 5.6.4 using STLPort supplied with the 
compiler and I've placed foreach.hpp inside the boost folder of a 1.32.0 
distribution.

Cheers

Russell
