C++ Builder 2009 comes with a prebuilt version of Boost 1.35 for which 
support is indeed much improved in the latest compiler. Note however 
that this is possible thanks to extensive patches that tweak existing 
Borland workarounds to cater for removed bugs and improved standard 
compliance.

I have agreed to help merging into trunk the patches developed by 
CodeGear and I plan to start committing in the next few days.

Cheers,
Nicola
