Now I understand.  I was a bit confused myself.  For the curious, boost
gives us a lot of utility classes that make memory management in C++ easier,
as well as some OS level abstractions for filesystem interfacing as well as
some other things.  Its used pretty heavily by librets internally.

Great!  Its pretty easy to add them once we identify them.  I've got the
other two added, but I want to do a bit more testing and document a change
to libRETS building before I release.  (ANTLR is now optional for those who
don't need the SQL to DMQL translator.  Right now the only thing that seems
to need that is ezRETS.)

I've checked the changes into subversion for those two methods though, for
those building by themselves at home.  (That was supposed to sound more like
"playing along at home" but it didn't go so well.)

Awesome!  The goal was to be fairly easy to use once you got that far.
