Support for 2.95.3 is a very low priority for me right now and if it was 
dropped from Boost I don't think there would be many (if any) 
dissapointed QNX programmers out there. My plan for Boost v 1.34 would 
be to make a good job of gcc 3.3.5 support.

I will continue to monitor the current debate over gcc 2.95.3 and maybe 
when my dedicated test machine is on line I will try some runs with gcc 
2.95.3 just to see how bad it really is :-)
