GNU Boost (1.35.0)

Hi guys,

GNU Boost is a new project within the Boost Extras project that lets you compile Boost using only GNU development tools. In other words, automake, autoconf, libtool, configure.ac, Makefile.am, etc.

This is very powerful since that way you can recompile Boost on any system with a Bourne shell without having to worry about Jam and it is 100% compatible with all the other package compiled with libtool.

You can right now download a version of Boost 1.35.0 with the configure script & corresponding Makefile's. It compiles under Ubuntu Hardy for Linux and Mingw32 (for Windows!)

And there is also the package I used to generate the boost 1.35.0 environment. This is the gnu-boost-1.0 package.

There is still some work to be done, and if you need a library I don't support yet, make it work and share your code! That way next time it will work!

Thank you.
