find review managers are small, sometimes very small. It might be
worth breaking up Application into smaller libraries if you want a
faster review.

 I think that I can split it.

it'll see a review manager any time soon. I'm thinking maybe next
year it might

Nice! I will check!

>> FYI, I'd just love if Application's design rationale told me why and
how it's similar or different to Boost.Process. Process is one of the
most popular non-official Boost libraries out there.

Well, I think that are totally different.

Quick, Boost.Process is used to start a new process, Boost.Application is
the process in fact. Boost.Application provides a model/environment to
build any application, not start an application.

Some features are:

With it you can deploy your application as server (service on windows, and
daemon on unix). It provides a plug-in system tool and other facilities
(like aspects) that will help developer on application development.

It provides a way to create other applications modes, e.g. Apache http
server module.

Thanks alot for your comments.
