I want to reiterate my suggestion that we move Boost's include directory 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.

+1 It would seem to require changes to every single Visual Studio Project. The decision time for this has passed IMO. We need a long period of stability after the Great Gitification. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 (0) 1539 561830
