Fair enough.

General Boost comment not specific to this library: This is really a 
side-effect of how we manage our branches and releases. With the move to 
SVN I'd imagine this sort of thing will get easier. I'd fully expect 
that acceptance of a boost library really should mean it goes into TRUNK 
(from now on). Whether or not that library makes it from TRUNK onto a 
release branch really is a separate question. That way we can build and 
view tests for the library which can only help its development towards a 
releasable state.
