I was just wondering if it is possible to get a modified, Boost licensed version of detail/endian.hpp into this next release? It'd be great to get this licensing issue resolved in this next Boost version, if at all possible.

I don't know. I haven't been following that. Did anyone take responsibility for it?

It's highly unlikely. There is al alternative implementation in Boost Predef. But that isn't even fully accepted as a library. I could attempt to do a standalone port from Predef into detail/endian.hpp but I doubt I could both get it done and tested to a point that it would be safe to merge into release.

I'm restarting work on the boost endian library, so I'd be willing to take this on. If you send me your Predef port of detail/endian.hpp, I'll see if I can move it along. No promises until I see what you have, however. Thanks, --Beman
