I guess we should change the name; several other people have requested it.

"libraries" is OK, except that it is on the long side.  It gets keyed lots 
when moving around boost directories from the command line.  Any shorter 
suggestions?

The real reason I've delayed has been the lack of a way to change CVS 
directories, other than pleading with people at SourceForge to do it 
manually.  I don't want to lose the histories, so I guess I'll just have to 
get down on my knees and beg.
