Diffs as follows at end of message (and in release notes).

Noteworthy changes:

 - UNIXSTL's filesystem_traits has new fstat(), open(), close() and 
get_file_size() methods
 - UNIXSTL's readdir_sequence has the BREAKING CHANGE of value_type being
   redefined from struct dirent const * to char const *. To get the old
behaviour, 
define
   UNIXSTL_READDIR_SEQUENCE_OLD_VALUE_TYPE

 There are also two new classes:

 - WinSTL's memory_mapped_file
 - UNIXSTL's memory_mapped_file

And a whole new sub-project, PlatformSTL, which provides platform
abstraction for structurally conformant UNIXSTL and WinSTL components. For 
example,

    #include <platformstl/memory_mapped_file.hpp>

will introduce either unixstl::memory_mapped_file or winstl::memory_mapped_file 
into
the platformstl namespace. All PlatformSTL headers include 
<platformstl/platformstl.hpp>,
which will detect either UNIX (unix) or Win32 (WIN32) compilation, and define
the
corresponding symbol PLATFORMSTL_OS_IS_UNIX or PLATFORMSTL_OS_IS_WIN32.

Note: PlatformSTL only contains mappings between components from the two
operating
systems that are structurally conformant. Examples are file_path_buffer, 
process_mutex,
pipe, etc. Although the conformance is not necessarily 100% in all cases, it is 
high in all cases.
For components where structural conformance is low, they are not included in 
PlatformSTL, and
you'll have to use them 'manually', via direct inclusion of the winstl or
unixstl 
headers, and
explicit pre-processor discrimination. This is, of course, deliberate.
PlatformSTL 
promises
nothing it cannot deliver.

Great!!! I'd been meaning to suggest this for a couple of days but kept forgetting to actually post about it... I haven't forgotten about the documentation, I'm just reading a lot of it before I decide to write something... Pablo

Yeah, it's time I addressed structural conformance and gave it its due respect. (I'm actually writing a bit about it in the Extended STL draft at the mo, which is part of the reason why I'm moving on it now.)
 I haven't forgotten about the documentation, I'm just reading a lot of it
before 
 I decide to write something...
No worries. I am a patient patient. :-) Cheers Matthew
