Hi Christian,

If the problem is that the Boost review process is broken, let's try to 
fix that, not bypass it.  If the process is broken, we should fix it 
for all types of contribution - small or large, extension or new library.

I am looking forward to the eventual review of your GIL IO extension 
and its inclusion in Boost.  Having had a quick look at the code some 
time ago, I think it would benefit from a full review, not some sort of 
"fast path".

Phil.
