My pleasure, my fun :-)

Yes, I use Property Sheets quite often and added them to SOCI.
However, there are number of drawbacks. Simply, they are static
and mostly users have different environments, so Linux ./configure-like
dynamic configurator is required.
Recently, I've been thinking of adding CMake configuration for GGL,
However, it would make sense to have CMake only if we used custom
CMake framework/macros added recently to Boost (looks like Boost is
migrating to CMake?)
Otherwise, we'd need to craft CMake config manually and get it lost
after we move GGL to Boost.
So, I'd consider the property sheets as a temporary solution.
It works for now and we don't need user-friendly building configuration,
I think.
Later, I'd vote for CMake - multiplatform meta-builder.

You're reading my mind :-)
Good idea, especially they are a few files only.
I can do that during the weekend.

OK. I like strict compilation mode, so I fix such small issues
if you don't mind.
By the way, have you tried to compile GGL with Comeau C/C++ ?

Yes I remember, but even that I've micro-revised it by the way of
refactoring.

No problem at all!

OK
