Dawes.

* Generic Programming Techniques page added, contributed by Dave Abrahams.

* Graph Library:  Updated use of iterator adaptors. Changed operator== for 
adjacency_list::edge_descriptor to improve semantics for multigraphs. Moved 
adjacency_iterator_generator from namespace detail to boost and added 
documentation. Renamed dynamic_components() to incremental_components(), 
better matching graph literature terminology. Cleaned up interface of 
connected_components() and created separate strong_components() function 
using Tarjan's more efficient algorithm. Fixed documentation figures for 
adjacency_list and adjacency_matrix. Added docs for 
cuthill_mckee_ordering() algorithm.

* Python Library upgraded.  Better compatibility with Python 2.0, NULL 
pointers and smart-pointers get converted to/from python None, massive 
documentation review/revision.
