[zeromq-dev] ZeroMQ and Boost

[dhruva]

Hi,
Some of you core developers can post to the Boost developers mailing list if they would take ZeroMQ as 
part of Boost. I think ZeroMQ will need to have Boost License (BGL). Maybe 2 variants can be 
maintained with BGL for stuff in Boost. ASIO itself is maintained on sourceforge which gets occasionally
merged into Boost mainstream. So, you can have ASIO and Boost'ified ASIO in parallel.
Bringing this discussion on the boost developer list is a good starting point. If all goes well, getting 
ZeroMQ into Boost Sandbox. Then the review process which takes time but reviews are very good. It 
finally makes it into Boost release. Boost is at 1.39 and things are planned till 1.41 (leaning on my memory)...
