I have started updating the code for the new OpenVRML 0.16.2 and there were quite a few changes from my good old 0.14.3 which I have used with it before. So it is more like a major rewrite - it needs to be updated to OSG 1.2 as well. However, I have a dilemma here - OpenVRML 0.16.2 uses and depends on Boost now. I cannot avoid its usage because it is in the API. Are we interested in another (major) dependency? Or should I stay with the old 0.14.3 code which doesn't need Boost? Personally, I do not mind Boost because it comes nicely packaged on my Linux machine but I can feel the Windows users cringe - compiling that beast on Windows is a major pain. What is your opinion on this?
Arggg, I was hoping that OpenVRML would simplify the dependency list over Coin. What elements of boost does OpenVRML use? I wonder if one could create a mini boost package that would be easy to compile/install.
