I'm the maintainer of Boost.Process (if there is something like a  
maintainer for an unofficial Boost library). If you want to use  
Boost.Process, I strongly recommend using the version at  
<http://www.highscore.de/boost/process0.5/>. That's the latest version  
which is awaiting a review. It is used by others in real projects and has  
quite an extensive test suite. Furthermore, I try to help out quickly if  
anyone runs into any issues (which means there shouldn't be any issues  
most of the time :).

Yes, the latest version is currently only available as a ZIP file from  
<http://www.highscore.de/boost/process0.5/process.zip>.
