Sorry for the late reply.

I doubt it, I just know it's sort of languished and know there's changes in there I want to make and others I want to merge to master.

> When Stephen Kelly was making changes in Boost, I had a long e-mail discussion with Jeremiah Willcock about separating property_map and the parallel property maps since I do not believe that including property_map.hpp should bring in all the dependencies to parallel property maps. I believe he made those changes, which are now part of 'develop' on property_map but they have never been merged to 'master'.

Great, eliminating dependencies from parallel is a good thing.  My plan is to get these merged in the next couple of days (before the next release).
