You'll find the most recent version of boost::fsm here:

http://boost-sandbox.sf.net/fsm.zip

I think code and documentation are pretty mature now and the library is 
already being used in two independent real-world projects. I'll make an 
announcement in all relevant newsgroups in a few days. 

If feedback is as I hope I'll ask for a formal review here at boost.

Although it's a little late now, I'm certainly interested in how your library 
works. Do you have a tutorial or some example code demonstrating it's use?
