I find the idea, to have a cross-platform way of creating daemons/services, worthwhile. I would like to suggest that the name be changed from Application, which is far too generic for just creating a computer program, to something more appropriate, maybe 'daemon'.
This name crossed my mind as well.
It actually provide a way to make a non-daemon application (mentionned in the part about launching the app).
If the main usage is likely to be 'daemonic', then Boost.Daemon would still be a good name.
From the current name, one would be unlikely to guess that it could do daemon work?
