Hi,

The section of the docs '1.1 The problem' shouldn't be focussed on  how 
C++ doesn't have system calls built in, as this is a problem that the 
whole of boost is addressing, not just this library. It should be more 
like the introduction to lexical cast, where a short history of what was 
available in C,C++ is given. The short history and the shortcomings of 
whats gone before would be platform specific. The last bit starting 'One 
of these is process management' is relevant but the previous 3 
paragraphs aren't.

Similarly in '1.2 Motivation'. It is stated that 'It is clear that there 
is a need for a library to manage processes'. If i had no previous 
knowledge of managing processes it wouldn't be clear from the 
documentation so far that there is this need. What seems more clear from 
this section is the authors desire to get their library included in a 
future C++ standard.

Thanks
