FWIW I'm inclined to agree.

I've taken a brief look at the code, but I'll have to look at it in more
depth to make more comments.  But I do notice you're using John Torjo's
logging library.  I may have missed something but will this be present in a
future version of boost?  Is it your intention to use this for boost.networktoo?

That's an admirable goal.

I'd take a look when I get the time... For the week I'm being taken

Yes I intend to, but I will be rather busy this week and i'll be abroad over
the weekend so I can't promise too much at the moment.
