Hi,

you forget to say in the documentation that your library needs to be built and included on the user program. Ths is inportant to know for a lot of people.

"How do I use it?
That's the best part. If you've installed or compiled the Boost library already, all you need to do is add #include <boost/xint/xint.hpp> at the top of your source code file and declare your variable as type boost::xint::integer."

Best,
