I suggest that proposed libraries are available at 

  http://boost-sandbox.sf.net

They can be copied there with "scp" command:

   scp some_file.zip your_name_at_[hidden]:/home/groups/b/bo/boost-sandbox
htdocs

Not exactly. The sandbox CVS and sandbox webspace are not related in any
way.

Sure, that's why I'm proposing to put files to webspace, not to CVS. In
particular, webspace is more easily available to general public. More, CVS
is very inefficient in storing binary files, and most libraries previews
are zip archives.
