In the documentation for stacktrace I do not see anything about what 
level of C++ is required for a compiler using the stacktrace library or 
any information on what compilers have been tested when using the library.

In the section of "Build, Macros and Backends" I do not think there is 
enough information about using a particular backend, other than saying 
that you need to link with such-and-such. Does stacktrace 
"automatically" find the header files it needs from these backends ? 
Even so I think some information about where it looks for the backend 
header files need to be given. I also think that some information of 
what libraries it looks to link with needs to be given. I am assuming it 
links with the static versions of these backend libraries unless I 
define either BOOST_STACKTRACE_LINK and BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK, or 
BOOST_STACKTRACE_DYN_LINK. What if I want to use the header-only version 
but I want to link with the shared library backend ? I also assume that 
if I link with the static library backend I should probably be linking 
with the RTL static library, while if I link with the shared library 
backend I should also be linking with the RTL shared library.

What about 32-bit versus 64-bit use of stacktrace ? Do they both work as 
advertised with the correct backends, whether static or shared ? I think 
the "Build, Macros and Backends" need rto be expanded to cover alol 
these topics.
