And I believe the most advanced work on library-based move semantics
to date is in the sandbox

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox/boost/move.hpp
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox/libs/move/test/

And look for N1770 and N1771 in the upcoming committee mailing (due
out any day now) for a complete language solution to move semantics
and a description of associated standard library changes.
