<ul>
<li>Finish the probe program, and ask Boost people to run it on various O/S's.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
<li>Finish portability guide.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
<li>Cyclic paths:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>General requirements.</li>
<li>Add cycle-breaking code if needed.</li>
<li>Add test case to make sure functions like <i>remove_all</i> don't loop.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Get opinions on default, Boost, and other error checks.&nbsp; POSIX?&nbsp;
Windows?&nbsp; ISO 6990?<br>
&nbsp;</li>
<li>As a lexical concept, parent-directory is portable unless it escapes to
the operating system. But do all operating recognize such a concept in a path?&nbsp;
I doubt it.&nbsp; Maybe there should be a checking function that verifies that
generic_path() contains no <code>&quot;..&quot;</code>.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
<li>Once the review is complete, ask for help porting to the Mac, etc.</li>
</ul>
