I have BCB5, should I upgrade to 6 ? I do not need to use any of the
new features advertised with 6, what I am looking for is fewer ICEs,
better COM support, and better compiling and linking.

Also, is BCB6 capable of compiling Boost::Spirit? (The Spirit sourcecode
says it requires __BORLANDC__ >= 0x570).

Can I 'upgrade' my BCB5 by copying bcc32.exe, ilink32.exe etc. from 
C++BuilderX into the CBuilder5\Bin directory?
