Just wanted to point out that there's an outstanding bug report due to some
changes in Boost.Container that seem to have occured somewhere in the 1.52
dev cycle, reported here <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7650>. In
a nutshell, there is a compile time error caused by
boost::container::list::const_iterator is trying to use a method
called 'to_pointer'
that doesn't exist (there is a 'pointer_to' method defined).

We're using a modified version of boost/container/list.hpp at the moment,
but it would be nice to ditch that come 1.53.  The patch is so trivial that
I thought it best to leave it up to the maintainer, as I really have no
idea how to work with the current svn setup.

cheers,
Rich
