Hi. Sorry for not answering for such a long time. I got caught up in a

I will very likely break it up in the binary part and the text part.
However, I need at least a proof-of-concept implementation of the text
part, because I want some components to work in both parts, and the
interface I use currently may prove unsuitable for that.

The binary part doesn't need many more features, as it is.

Oh no. There's the whole formatting thing that I most definitely won't
tackle in the first version.

Hmm, that's the contents of the lib subdirectory.
There should be a boost subdirectory as well. And there should be more
in the lib subdirectory.

Oh no, the tarball really contains only this stuff. Hehe, I really
should have looked at that sooner. :-(

Well, whatever. Preview release 2 coming up soon. I just need some
testing under Win32.
