I don't entirely understand the implications of this. Without
Boost.Filesystem, are
we effectively saying that Boost as a whole non longer supports the
predominant
free C++ compiler, or is that a bit of an overstatement?

Does lack of Boost.Filesystem support impact the useability of other areas
of
Boost?
