Just in case anyone misses it, I posted an RFC to the Boost.Users list about this.
I think this is a good chance to discuss Spirit porting questions that may well
become relevant if somebody was to decide to port Wave to Spirit 2.x someday.

I am going to spend some time tommorow refactoring the grammar. I will try to get
it into a state where it can pass all the tests (VACPP, Intel, MSVC) in the
allocated 300 timeout on the test matrix. I still think it is good idea to consider
pulling the new grammar at this point in time, but with SVN, it is a bit painful
to do branching.

I think if I can get the following done, we should consider keeping it in trunk:

 * Reduce the number of warnings with GCC and MSVC
 * Passes tests on VACPP, Intel and MSVC
