so graydon noted that boost just announced a review period for their program_options package. asside from the fact that it seems ridiculously powerful, and i really hope it makes it in to boost because it's way cooler than the options parsing package we're using at work (note to self: update version of boost you have checked in to the tree at work), i noticed that the changelog he has posted is quite obviously output from subversion's 'svn log' command, which is always nice to see.
