So how do you solve the versioning problem? If Boost.Thread.90 requires Boost.SmartPtr.76 and Boost.Filesystem.90 requires Boost.Smartptr.77, you've got a usability nightmare on your hands. I don't see any way around Boost libraries having to work together in all baseline releases (which is what we have now). And this is a practical problem, as I have yet to work anywhere that doesn't have this problem when they integrate libraries from more than one source. -- Nevin ":-)" Liber <mailto:nevin@eviloverlord.com> (847) 691-1404
