The review of BOOST.PREDEF by Rene Riviera is scheduled between Monday, 
February 20th to February 29th.

================
Contents & Scope
================
BOOST.PREDEF defines a set of compiler, architecture, operating system, 
and library version numbers from the information it can gather of C++ 
predefined macros or those defined in generally available headers. The 
idea for this library grew out of a proposal to extend the Boost Config 
library to provide more, and consistent, information than the feature 
definitions it supports. What follows is an edited version of that brief 
proposal.

Writing a Review
================
The reviews and all comments should be submitted to the developers list, 
and the email should have "[PREDEF] Review" at the beginning of the 
subject line to make sure it's not missed.
Please explicitly state in your review whether the library should be 
accepted.

The general review checklist:

     - What is your evaluation of the design?
     - What is your evaluation of the implementation?
     - What is your evaluation of the documentation?
     - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library?
     - Did you try to use the library?  With what compiler?  Did you 
have any problems?
     - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A 
quick reading? In-depth study?
     - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?

And finally, every review should answer this question:

     - Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library?

Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure 
your overall opinion.
