Did you recieve my off-list email? There's some technical problem -- the 
mailing list software repeatedly asked me to approve your post, but when I 
tried it said there are no pending posts at all.

I did experimented with building using borland compiler under Debian, and IIRC 
compiling worked flawlessy, but linking had some issues. I don't remember 
exactly though. I did it by just using "wine ...../bcc32.exe" as compiler 
command in Boost.Build V2.
