I figure the main reason people are urged to use multiple boost versions side-by-side is because of API incompatibilities between them.
That and functionality. If my static library is tested against 1.34, I can only support it with 1.34. Changing a library like Boost which is all over the place in some code bases requires a new testing cycle. God help you if your tests miss some edge case that is now relevant after upgrading to 1.35 b/c of a third-party component. -- Sohail Somani http://uint32t.blogspot.com
