[boost] Revised streambuf library

A little over a month ago, I posted a library for creating streambufs from
objects with socket-like interfaces. In response, several people requested
filtering capabilities, and others have since posted filtering streambuf
code (Larry Evans, Daryle Walker, Paul Bristow) and related material (Maxim
Egoruskin.)

I have posted a new version of my library, which has been rewritten to
incorporate filtering as a basic construct.

In addition to allowing the easy creation of streams and streambuf from
objects with socket-like interfaces, it provides a convenient interface for
defining i/o filters and for combining them in various ways with each other
and with types from the standard library (streams, streambufs, containers,
sequences, codecvts.)

The library is now implemented as a collection of pluggable components.
