- I'm not too fond of the usage of "*nix", especially not in headers - why not "Unix variants" or similar. Just my personal opinion, though.
Just going with someone else's suggestion who was unhappy with specific mentions of unix. I'm open to whatever people decide is most comfortable. [end quote] I've been asked if I'm talking about a basketball team when I talk about *nix! So +1 for Unix variant from me. By the way, good document. I think it would be very useful to have a section (or separate document?) on how to incorporate boost into your project's build / source control. Currently I use "vendor branches" as described in the subversion book. I'm not sure of a better way myself :) I think this question came up elsewhere last week as well. Sohail
