I see your point. The problem is on windows there is no standard build system like autotools for linux, however.

Yes, that forces us to maintain all of them :) > Or would boost.build add anything in particular that cmake won't? (I've > not used either one.) Yes, some users are familiar with it :) Piotr Dobrogost -- Piotr Dobrogost *** curlpp.org - c++ wrapper for libcurl ***
