Thank you, John.
 
Present state:	* I have already modified my codes to include boost licensing and the boost style directories.
	* I have also addressed the issues that were drawn to my attention by you and other users.
	* The regression testing is almost complete.
 
Give me a chance to do the following:
	1. Write to the ACM and attempt to obtain an explicit written licensing arrangement for a derived boost version of the e_float core.
	2. Separate the e_float core from the functions and work out a sensible strategy for handling the modularity.
I will get back to you as soon as I have significantly progressed on 1 and 2. 
Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely, Chris.

Just to be clear, we would need to sort out the license definitively *before* any code went into the sandbox SVN.

Pedantically yours, John.
