Hello,

I want to request a permission to merge

Boost.Locale to the release branch.

Testing Status:
===============

Link:http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/locale.html


Fully tested and pass 100% compilers/platforms: 
-----------------------------------------------


Compilers:


- MSVC-8,9,10 with native libraries
- GCC all versions
- Intel - on Linux
- Visual Age on Linux



Current major faults:

---------------------


- Sun Studio - reported bug in Boost.Thread
- Intel on Darwin - seems to be general compiler
  regression for all libraries (not related
  to Boost.Locale)
- MSVC for Windows Mobile - not supported, will
  not be supported due to lack of standard
  library functionality
- Visual Age/AIX - iconv has poor implementation
  on AIX and ICU not provided on the testing
  machine so, there is no way to test.


Minor faults:
-------------

- GCC prior to 4.5 on Windows - will not work
  with dynamic build (dll) due to lack of
  linking with dynamic runtime (libstdc++6.dll)

- Pathscale-4 and MSVC-9 with STL-Port: minor
  fults in wide file I/O where invalid
  UTF-8 prevents reading valid part.

  Can't debug it due to lack of access to platform
  and compiler.



Thank you very much,
