I'm using 3.0.4 (Mandrake 8.2), and everything works fine. The issue was
whether or not to support 2.96, which is the version included in RedHat
7.x and SuSe. For this version, boost doesn't compile "out of the box".

I suggest to work with 3.x, and wait whether the boost people will support
the older versions, or whether more distributors switch to the new
compiler. Chances are that one of these things will happen before we have
a shippable product ;-)

Is anybody here who doesn't have access to either VC++ 6 or gcc 3?
