I tried to get Alphamail working on Solaris in early 2006, which 
required (actually building) Boost.  I still wake up screaming in the 
middle of the night sometimes.

But as long as you don't actually have to build it, it's probably not so 
bad.  I do recall having to run the latest Forte compiler with 
up-to-date patches.

Where do you plan to use the Boost code? I.e., what things need to be 
compiled with the stlport4 library?  This is to try to get a better 
handle on the scope of not mixing libCstd.
