Hi Andreas, It is really nice to hear that FSM lib is ready for submission. Here are my comments : 1. Can you port your library to other compilers, at least for gcc ? I was trying to port older fersion of your lib to Borland, but code is too complicated to make it shortly. 2. I

I just checked in some improvements to intel-win32 support for Boost.Build version 1. This includes a hack which works around our inability to detect wchar_t support for intel6. It also includes automatic version detection and resulting customization to the command-line options. Please see
