Hello Doug,

there are some links that do not work:
 http://www.osl.iu.edu/~dgregor/boost-1.35.1-vc8.exe
    Not Found
    The requested URL /~dgregor/boost-1.35.1-vc8.exe was not found on this 
server.

In Boost-CMake documentation: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/CMake 
there are a lot of references to
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox-branches/boost-cmake/boost_1_34_0/

but address do not exists
    Not Found
    The requested URL 
/svn/boost/sandbox-branches/boost-cmake/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/CMake/FindICU.cmake 
was not found on this server.

Instead I have found this

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/CMake/Boost_1_35_0/

Best regards

Vicente Juan Botet Escriba

Subject: [boost] Volunteer request: CMake-based build system for Boost

>A small group of volunteers has been working on a new build system for
> Boost based on CMake, a cross-platform, open-source build system. We
> have reached the point where our core build system has become
> relatively stable, and we are requesting volunteers to help us improve
> the build system further by improving the documentation, implementing
> new features, porting the system to other platforms, etc. We are most
> interested in volunteers who are:
>
>   * Willing to learn the CMake build system and the Boost-specific
> macros we have built for CMake
>   * Interested in the technical challenges of building, testing, and
> deploying Boost
>   * Able to test on a variety of platforms and compilers
>   * Willing to write as much documentation as code (or more!)
>   * Unwilling to participate in build-system flame wars
>
> Anyone interested in joining this effort should read about CMake and
> our CMake-based build system for Boost (links below), then join the
> Boost-CMake mailing list (also below). To  get a sense of the kind of
> deployment options we would like CMake to provide in the future,

> linked below, and direct comments to the Boost-CMake mailing list.
