Hello, The attached patches fix some problems with program_options: * options_description.hpp changed "static const ..." to BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT * options_description.cpp changed "std::reverse_iterator" to "boost::reverse_iterator" (the std:: version is broken in MSVC6) * variables_map.cpp fixed scope problem in "for (int i...", etc. by moving the var. declaration outside the loop.
