David,

I was until you indicated how much work it would be, plus the previous
worries about other MSVC lib compatibility worries.  I barely have enough
time on this project for the project itself.  And in order of priority,
switching platforms form Windows to Linux in this discussion, I'd like to
see a Kylix 3/C++ IDE compatible Boost Library first anyways.  Hopefully
I'll get some time to try that some day.

thx
