I find the idea, to have a cross-platform way of creating daemons/services, worthwhile. I would like to suggest that the name be changed from Application, which is far too generic for just creating a computer program, to something more appropriate, maybe 'daemon'.

It actually provide a way to make a non-daemon application (mentionned in the

about launching the app).

If the main usage is likely to be 'daemonic', then Boost.Daemon would still be a good name.

From the current name, one would be unlikely to guess that it could do daemon work?
