So, if there is interest and there are no objections, I'd like to put this tool into the Boost repository, in tools/bpm.

+1 for the tools.

IMO we should get out of the habit of adding everything to the Boost tree, new tools should be able to live in their own repo.

+1 from me.

I think the only reason not to is because Boost.Build is setup to expect that they'll be in the tools directory, which doesn't apply here.

I see no reason that tools/bpm can't be a submodule.

Especially since it aims to stop treating Boost as monolithic.

Yes. That should be a goal. Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math. Jürgen Hunold ! * voice: ++49 4257 300 ! Fährstraße 1 * fax : ++49 4257 300 ! 31609 Balge/Sebbenhausen * jhunold@gmx.eu ! Germany
