Re: RFE. Boost C++.

[David Sugar]

Ali,

I had not been fully aware of Boost as a resource for vetting free 
implimentations of libraries as a precursor for standards proposal 
before.  In that Boost seems to require free (freely licensed) source 
available implimentations, I see no fundimental conflict with that, or 
even with the work of the ansi/c++ draft committees in regard to what we 
choose to do in GNU.

Further, in some ways GNU Common C++ was intended to address 
shortcommings of the existing C++ ansi standard library by directly 
addressing functionality (sockets, threads, synchronization, 
serialization, etc) that they choose at the time to ignore :).  In that 
respect, the mission of GNU Common C++ does seem consistent and related 
to the stated goals of Boost.  In that regard, it would seem there is a 
real basis for further discussion about what Boost is doing and how it 
relates to what we are doing in GNU Common C++.
