1.4 works IIRC perfectly with boost 1.33. the only reason why an external
boost is not officially supported are disabled exceptions, but I believe
that 1.4 would work with an external 1.33 boost if that is compiled with
disabled exceptions.
Really? Last time I compiled 1.4.2 with cygwin/boost1.33.1, I got lots
of compile errors like include file not found.
System boost can also mean a locally installed boost instead of the
distribution version.
That is fine to me, except that I have never tried to compile boost
under windows.
