It will be rely good tohave TBB included on Boost. I'm not sure Intel is interested in having a portable implementation of TBB. Respect to the fact that there is a discussion, I have not hear too much since a long time.
I hope that there are other boosters working on lock-free techniques and that êven if TBB is a good library we could work without.

Best,
