I don't know what you mean; compilable examples, maybe?
I haven't gotten around to applying my LitRe example testing and
extraction system to it yet.

Of course, once we have BOOST_AUTO in the CVS, something like that
could be used.  That *might* be worth mentioning in the tutorial
someday.  OTOH, the uses of BOOST_AUTO are so broad that we'd have to
sprinkle "Oh, BTW, BOOST_AUTO might be useful here" throughout the
documentation of many many Boost libraries.

I only said that I was close to finishing the *tutorial*.

I think we would like to acknowledge our review manager, but I can't
think of anything else that should go in that section.  Ideas?

Compatibility issues are discussed throughout the tutorial.

That's the reference documentation; Daniel is supposedly working on
it, although I haven't heard from him in a few days.

> and page for "might be useful" headers of other libraries...

I have no clue what "might be useful," and none of our other libraries
have such a page.  I don't expect I'll be doing that, at least not for
1.33.

> And maybe dependencies...

I don't think I'll be doing that either.  I think bcp is the way to
get that information.
