The review of BOOST.PREDEF by Rene Riviera is scheduled between Monday,
February 20th to February 29th.

================
Contents & Scope
================
BOOST.PREDEF defines a set of compiler, architecture, operating system,
and library version numbers from the information it can gather of C++
predefined macros or those defined in generally available headers. The
idea for this library grew out of a proposal to extend the Boost Config
library to provide more, and consistent, information than the feature
definitions it supports. What follows is an edited version of that brief
proposal.

===============
How to get it ?
===============
Sources and documentation can be retrieved from http://tinyurl.com/73n6a3k

================
Writing a Review
================
The reviews and all comments should be submitted to the developers list,
and the email should have "[PREDEF] Review" at the beginning of the
subject line to make sure it's not missed.
Please explicitly state in your review whether the library should be
accepted.

The general review checklist:

     - What is your evaluation of the design?
     - What is your evaluation of the implementation?
     - What is your evaluation of the documentation?
     - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library?
     - Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you
have any problems?
     - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A
quick reading? In-depth study?
     - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?

And finally, every review should answer this question:

     - Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library?

Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure
your overall opinion.
