I have successfully downloaded boost_1_46_0_beta1.7z from sourceforge
and built it on ms-windows7 with msvc-9 and 10.

I checked the general documentation roughly and ICL docs in more
detail and did some tests. Everything worked well so far. The only
issue I found was this:

The link to "Release History"  in boost_root/index.html:
http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_46_0
does not exist: Error 404 (not found)
