from $BOOST_ROOT to $BOOST_ROOT/include.

Our organization has been following the example in the first pages of the getting started guide [1][2] and using #include with $BOOST_ROOT in our include path, so changing that to 'include' would require major source changes to our (and presumably lots of others') code bases.

I think this is far too disruptive of a change for the benefits described.

Tom,

I think the suggestion is to have $BOOST_ROOT/include/boost, so no changes in the source code will be required.

Ahh, that is not what I got from my first reading of the original message, but re-reading I can see how that would be possible. To be clear we are talking about moving $BOOST_ROOT/boost to $BOOST_ROOT/include/boost correct? If this is the case, I'm fine with that. I have no problem updating my visual studio include path...I would have a problem changing my source files (if something like #include -> #include was required. The only down side I see to this, is then we have this silly include directory with only a single subfolder and no files in it....but that's not the end of the world. Tom
