Hi Christian,

The MIT and BSD licenses are pretty much the same, and I much prefer the 
Boost license over both of these. My thought was merely to throw out the 
suggestion, to see if anyone found it interesting.

To Domagoj Saric: I would not be able to write one on my own as I am only on 
Windows at present, but I would certainly like to contribute if someone were 
to pick up such a project.

Kind regards,

Philip Bennefall

Adding a copyright notice seems a cheap price compared to re-inventing a
beast of this kind.
