This way, the regular user will get to build the needed source files without any pain.
Well, building with bjam also is without any pain at all. But I must admit that this was not so until I discovered the --install option switch, which is not all too well documented. (Just go to the boost-root directory and type bjam --help). Then, at least when using windows, and once the auto_link.hpp is beeing complete, using boost is only a matter of just including the header files. No need to fiddle around with compiler switches and the like! BTW.: auto_link.hpp is great! Roland
