Wow, I just read through the 1st few pages of the spirit docs, and I can safely say, that is as close to naked women as C++ code will ever be, its such a sexy idea. One library, and you can parse any sort of config file, code or anything! Amazing.

Well, any lingering desire to use regex for my pet project has now left the building, I can't wait to have a play with spirit. When will it be a part of boost? Is it worth installing it seperately (I'd hate to do that and have a new boost appear the day after).

Also, reading this made up my mind that I should get a nice magazine about STL and C++ matters, can anyone recommend one (UK based preferable, but all sugestions welcome).

Interetsing stuff, thank you all!
