Okay, I got a little side tracked but I'm back. I'm not a C++ programmer so I don't think I'll be much help maintaining the VS8 build. I'm using VS8 because in the past this was the easiest way for me to build the TPP on windows and from the perspective of a Java programmer it is difficult for me to understand how one could sacrifice the productivity of an IDE on such a large project.
I did check out the trunk and did a clean release build. Boost did not extract. I'm very grateful for open source contribution of the TPP and I do understand how difficult it is to maintain documentation but it would have saved me a lot of time if, at least, the README file had been updated when the build procedure was changed.
