I have used Spirit 1.6+ with BCB6. However all of my latest work is with 
VC 8 ( VS 2005 ) so I do not need any further updates to Spirit 1.6+ 
unless it is a bug fix. My own viewpoint is that the Spirit 1.6+ branch 
should only involve possible bug fixes and no new functionality.

Hopefully if Borland ever gets its act together regarding their C++ 
compiler in the future, there will no longer be a need to support Spirit 
1.6+ for Borland.
