Jeremy,

You changed libs/utility/tie.htm to say:

   [tie has been deprecated.  Its functionality is supplied
   by the Boost Tuples Library.]

That isn't really correct - what you have done is remove it 
entirely.  "Deprecate" means it may be removed at some future time, but 
still exists in the interim.

Presumably you are removing rather than deprecating because of a name 
clash?  It might be useful to mention that - otherwise readers may think we 
are being capricious.

Also, you should make the mention of the replacement a hyperlink.

Thanks,
