FYI.. to those that care.. I checked in changes to SVN to inject the Predef library into Boost. I say inject because the source is not actually in the SVN repo, it's external and still in github. But is being brought in through their SVN interface. Some testers have already runs the tests for it.. And at some point to be determined with some coordination with the community I will switch the "boost/detail/endian.hpp" header to point to the Predef compatibility equivalent... I suspect at the earliest one more week for that assuming no problems surface.
