I think that a criteria for inclusion in the list of boost links 
is to satisfy boost quality criterias, for ex. as documented in 
the boost header policy, and the boost library policy. Of course 
this doesn't include living in namespace boost. (This includes 
being usable for free.) This excludes C++ hostile libraries written 

There is already a list of C++ library on some webpage (don't 
remember where), and replicating such work isn't (IMHO) the 
aim of boost.
