(suitably reformulated) should also be added to the above sentence.  This will
remove all doubts about the future of these libraries. [If you just have the
single above sentence, a bunch of questions again come to mind..]

Yes, it is very exciting, but I don't have much free time for active
participation.. (much of my "free" time is also being spent on work at the
moment..)  I can only say that I very much like the direction in which
the things are moving.  It's only sad that few Boost developers care about
the Solaris platform ;( [I'm *not* pointing towards you.]

PS: Have you considered integrating stuff from FC++ into Phoenix [or inviting
the FC++ team to integrate it]?  FC++ has also been submitted for inclusion
into boost (and rejected); it would be a real shame that because of this FC++
just fades away..  By "stuff" I mean primarily the (lazy) List library.
