On reflection it comes down to the question of what Boost is. Do domain specific libraries of all sorts have a home here (for which I guess examples would include the BGL), or is Boost more about a general programming toolkit (for example Boost.Bind). I don't know the answer to that, not do I feel qualified
The second paragraph on the main page of the Boost website states: "Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications." In practice too, it does not appear to favor domain specific or general purpose libraries.
Is this an argument against including Castor as a Boost library? Boost is full of domain specific and general purpose (programming?) libraries. I'm not sure this is a valid argument. Andrew Sutton andrew.n.sutton@gmail.com
