One very simple way to do this, without impacting anything else, is simply
reorganize the presentation of libraries on
http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm

See the attached for a first cut.

A final version would include a little table-of-contents at the beginning,
and might also still include the purely alphabetic list in a separate
section.

Comments? Does this address enough of the concerns to make it worth doing?
