Some users still link with libCstd.2.1.1 - old version of std library. Sometimes because they do not know about stlport4, sometimes because they have third party binary code depends on libCstd.2.1.1. So if we (at Sun) make -library=stlport4 is on by default these users have to change their Makefiles. IMHO it's not the problem but ... Anyway a lot of Boost code cannot be used without modern std library so if user want to use Boost it has to use stlport4 and this option should be on by default in Boost.
I second that. I believe this option should be on by default. The reason why Sun keeps non-conformant STL as default I understand, but I don't think they are applicable here.
