Dave,

I am rookie at boost and probably will need some help
from the veterans with formal review things.
And I definately do not mind to contribute BM to
Boost.

Now I have several alternative development plans.
One of them is to make library more usable by
templetizing several core things.
Another alternative is going far into compression
algorithms and bit matrices.

And at this moment I need more input to make right
decision. And I think boost is the right place to get
this input.

Thanks !

Anatoliy.
