It seems to me that we're seeing the same build problems crop up again and
again.

I have added a page to the Wiki:
http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?CommonBuildPr
oblems where we can build up a list of frequently-encountered problems and
how to solve them. So far it's just a skeleton, feel free to add to it,
everyone :-)

It would be nice if we could review the email archive to add the problems to
the Wiki. Slogging through all 600+ messages is a bit of a long haul, but I
think if we break it down and everyone scans 30 messages (the number of
messages presented on the web interface) we can go through the archive
pretty quickly.

Reviewing the main Boost list, on the other hand...
