signbit and isnan should go in Boost TR1?
I will not do the TR1 isnan and signbit functions. I do no thave time. I'm in the process of starting up a software company. Our product has a shipping date of Nov. 1. My partners tell me that I have already spent too much time on the Boost stuff. I will submit the facets to Boost with my is_nan and sign_bit functions as a private implementation detail. Someone else will have to do the TR1 stuff.
Not sure about the rest.
The facets are not substantial enough to form a new independent library. Of the existing libraries, I think boost.math is the least unsuitable place. If no one has a better idea, I will put the facets in namespace boost::math, and I will put the header files in a folder boost/math/facet. But an attempt to check is compiles with MSVC 8.0 failed - missing
..\c99_test.cpp in zip?

And something wrong in archive_test?
Not that I'm aware of. The test succeeds on my machine (VC 7.1). Please elaborate. --Johan Råde
