OK, hopefully I will have part 3 out by then :-)

Boost style is generally OK, though the 80-char max line length sucks 
(especially with proportional fonts) and as you know I much prefer tab 
indentation (so much easier to move around the code with the cursor 
keys). But if you're going to insist on using spaces then 2 spaces per 
indent is the way to go.

Maxim was/is a fan of boost so I'm sure he would approve ;)

A harsh judgement, but one I wholeheartedly agree with :-)

How do you propose to reformat the source code base? In Visual Studio, 
the "Edit -> Advanced -> Format Selection" command does a pretty good 
job of indentation, though I guess the space-alignment would need 
removing by hand.

That someone would be me ;-)

Hehe, show-off... I only have 24", though I do have two of 'em :) I've 
tried every font under the sun and I always come back to Arial.
