Global cleanups and typo fixes (affects whole tree)

Hi, I'm resending here several typo fixes and other whitespace/indentation cleanups I've been sending during the last few days (in these messages): http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg79319.php http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg79267.php (Can't find the third one in the archives.) This message follows David Abrahams suggestions (as seen in http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg79323.php). I.e., non-gzipped attachment, a single patch containing everything, and a descriptive subject line mentioning that it affects the global tree. Note that the patch is straightforward and non-intrusive. It mostly fixes several typos found in documentation and comments, and also solves some formatting issues in the jam build files (incorrect indentation and very long lines in help messages). In case you have questions about some changes (I really doubt so), the previous emails (linked at the beginning) have some more information. I hope it's better now. Thanks, -- Julio M.

Mostly... Somehow patch was unable to find the files to patch automatically. So I had to put each one in, strange. Anyway, applied.

Indeed... I just did a 'cvs diff -u <modified_files>' over the tree and collected the result. Anyway, in the meantime, I've been collecting some more typos and grammar fixes. I've attached a new patch. Could you (or anybody else) apply it? Thanks, PS: Let's hope it applies correctly now... -- Julio M.

Would it be possible for you to split your patches into groups by library (eg: filesystem.patch, config.patch,...)? That might make it easier for us to distribute to the various authors for review and application. Jeff

I thought about posting a similar request regarding Julio's original batch of patches, but after looking at them decided it was better for one person to just go ahead and apply them. Which I guess Rene has gone ahead and done. These patches were really non-controversial. For example, a large number of us, me included, seem to spell "necessary" with a second "c". --Beman

I only remember a few things from my three years of high school Latin... 1. I sat behind Teresa Brelewski all three years ;-) 2. necesse -- one C, two S's dulce et decorum est pro patria morte

Yep, sure. I've attached three patches now: - patch-config.diff (for the autoconfiguration framework; touches the documentation and the scripts, fixing typos and some grammar). - patch-filesystem.diff (fixes typos). - patch-iostreams.diss (fixes typos).
