I'll mention again that I think we should accept some libraries that won't work on broken compilers (like Chaos). "Boost works on this compiler" is an important selling point.
+1 IMO, Chaos should have been a part of Boost years ago. If a popular non-compliant compiler such as VC++ were able to be supported, then that would be great, but since it realistically cannot be supported, that's the problem of Microsoft. If Chaos were a part of boost and more libraries started using it, Microsoft would be much more concerned about fixing their horrible preprocessor. -- -Matt Calabrese
