I am able to use latest Boost libraries with BCB6
out of the box (serialization plus dozen of others).
I periodically check the CVS whether anything got broken.

However I am offloading as much functionality as
possible from BCB to VC++ since BCB randomly
crashes when a project grows too big.

As for ublas: wasn't it possible to extract 1.31 ublas
and replace the new version? I know how nasty this
is but Boost releases are only twice a year.
