[C++-sig] Visual C++ 2005

[Neil Hodgson]

   Does anyone know if compilation of Boost.Python based code works
better with Visual C++ 2005 compared to the 2003 version? Visual C++
2003 is OK but requires breaking wrappers up into multiple files and
compilation can be very slow and memory-intensive.

   How can Boost.Jam be instructed to look for Visual C++ 2005? Both
versions of the compiler are installed here and Boost.Jam always finds
2003. A beta of the express edition of Visual C++ 2005 is a free
download, IIRC about 60 Megs.
