Ah, OK. If it's going to improve compatibility with others, then that's fine. > I'm open to suggestions.

I can't speak for the release team, but if that could be done for 1.59 and then dropped for 1.60, it would at least keep existing packages building during a transition period. If the other boost package maintainers could be notified of this, it then gives us a month or so of breathing space to fix everything up. I guess then moving to 1.60 should then be relatively pain-free. Thanks! Roger -- .''`.
