Anyone used the Generic Image Library?

I just came across the generic image library (gil) and I was wondering if anyone has tried it out in their games? In particular, I was wondering how you found working with the idea of concepts? Is the use of template syntax overly verbose? Was the performance good? edit: fixed link. Sorry about that. [Edited by - jjd on February 5, 2010 8:31:19 AM]

FWI: GIL is also integrated into Boost: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/gil/doc/index.html

I tried. It may just have been my ignorance regarding the guts of raster images, but I never got it to work for me. I was trying to use it to rotate SDL_Surface's, but eventually just got SDL_gfx instead. I posted my struggles here.

Any particular reason why you didn't post them on the boost mailing list? The chances of getting a better response here than there are pretty much slim to none, especially since the authors of the actual library regularly answer posts on the boost mailing list.

IIRC, I had never posted on a mailing list before, and wasn't inclined enough to figure it out. Lame, I know, but it really didn't matter that much once I got SDL_gfx.
