How long exactly does it take to compile exactly?  I just checked out your
branch and built everything from scratch using a relatively recent g++ built
from trunk (4.5.0) as well as g++ 4.2 and I didn't feel that either took
excessively long.  Also, I have never experienced compile times to be a
significant bottleneck in development.  Large projects are going to be built
distributed anyway.

Also, it will mean a major architectural change because we'd have to abandon
the use of templates and traits to specialize the URI or client.

What compiler are you using?  What about other factors that affect your
build time?

Apart from this, how is progress?

Thanks,
Glyn
