* Section 1, Get Boost, both Windows and Unix Variants: need to begin with a suggestion that users first check for the availability of platform specific installers, linked to the correct URL.

Questions for Doug: Are the platform specific installers to be hosted on SourceForge as part of the "boost" package? Sure. What is the initial set of platform specific installers that will be provided for 1.36? These are my initial targets: Visual Studio 2005/Visual C++ 8.0 (32-bit) Visual Studio 2008/Visual C++ 9.0 (32-bit) MacOS X (Universal) - Tiger/monolithic installer MacOS X (Universal) - Leopard installer
