Thank you Doug,

Is it fair to say that I've generated what libraries there was to generate in the distribution and all the other Boost libraries are represented by source code and templates in include files? Well, I should have started using them instead of worrying about not having them -:) But I'm new to C++ and Boost so all this is a little overwhelming.
