Hi Marty, Oliver,

Sorry for my absence, I'm still on holidays and haven't had much free
time. I decided to try this out myself but, like Marty, am having some
difficulties with Boost and Visual Studio. I'm using Express (Visual
Studio Professional is a colossal expense to someone on a student's
salary), and this adds some difficulties of its own (it doesn't include
the Windows core API which Boost requires).

I've followed Boost's installation docs to the letter (as far as I can
see), and I've installed bjam. However, when I run 'bjam "-sTOOLS-vc"
install' on the MSVC command line, I get errors about a missing
vc-tools.jam. Running 'bjam "-sTOOLS-msvc" install' gets me slightly
further, and this actually installs the headers in the right locations.
Unfortunately, the libraries don't compile.

I may have to sit this one out, at least until I get back home to my
regular development system with proper tools. Thanks,
Joshua
