I don't see that as a good reason for not having it in boost. We have libraries that are tied to third parti libs, and we have libraries with a very narrow use, far fewer people using them that would a DirectX library IMO.
Are the third party libraries portable? There's really no reason other than lack of motivation that basic 3d functionality cannot be implemented on top of both opengl and directx, or directx and ogre3d.
I suspect even if the boost library only supported opengl it would face less resistance, since opengl is portable (and not just in the windows and WINE sense). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkoxB+wACgkQ5vihyNWuA4UxyQCdGx/+NEaeRjpQkR0ojZf4dn/2 ZrIAn2JCd1ZkdoUKvAIbEOJ1a7UccHZb =dCtj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
