Yes. Once the boost libs (and a few examples) have built ok I will then
release these as prebuilts. I will have to do this for a number of
versions of Visual Studio. Then for VC71 I will use the prebuilt boost
lib to build my own project. It will be developed using the VC71 IDE but
will be built overnight by a perl script that uses msdev in command line
mode. This overnight job will not build boost, it will pick up the boost
prebuilt.

Hopefully this is a bit clearer now....
