Since it seems like Jonathan Turkanis is not currently available to work on maintaining the iostreams library, perhaps someone else with CVS write access might apply the attached jamfile patches related to that library to RC_1_34_0 (if the release manager approves) and to HEAD. The description of the patches is below. These, along with the mentioned modification to the bzip2 DEF file, should resolve the remaining iostreams regressions.
Thanks for the patch! The patch looks good to me, but I have one question -- those tests used to pass before, at least for some msvc testers. Do you know what made them fail now? Was that a change in Jamfile (I don't remember making any), or bzlib/zlib has changed. "No idea" is fine for an answer, but if you know for sure, it would be even better ;-) Thomas, I think this patch is something we should apply, as otherwise functionality of iostream library will some somewhat limited in msvc/(source libz) configuration. What do you think? - Volodya
