Re: [boost] Final Getting Started Guide

In item 3 under http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost/more/getting_started/windows.html# the-boost-distribution I have a couple of comments on the following sentence: depending on your religion as regards the use of angle bracket includes. Even Windows users can (and, for portability reasons, probably should) use forward slashes in #include directives; your compiler doesn't care. I think it is clearer to use "...in regards to the use..." or "...regarding the use..." instead of "...as regards the use..." The other comment is that the word "religion" is a bit odd and may have a different meaning for different readers unfamiliar with its use in the English language--I'd say it applies to "the whole enchilada", too, but being from Mexico I'm fond of that phrase ;-). I'd recommend "preferences" instead of "religion": depending on your preferences regarding the use of angle bracket includes. Even Windows users can (and, for portability reasons, probably should) use forward slashes in #include directives; your compiler doesn't care. Regards, Javier
