Hi Robert

All Linux platform could have a boost library compiled (directly in the
distribution or on the boost sourceforge page), and
for Windows, you can download binaries from
www.boost-consulting.com.<http://www.boost-consulting.com/>

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.
