For boost 1.40 I've changed the TMP directory for the Common Documents 
directory, searching that folder using the registry. In theory, that 
folder is accessible by all processes and should be present in all 
systems. Nevertheless, I'll add the option to specify the temp directory 
to my to-do list, maybe using an environment variable?

Best,
