Well, my feedback is going to be fairly shallow since I don't have lots of
time to look it over, but what I see looks pretty good.  Both of the composite
and visitor stuff would be nice additions.  

One interesting question on composite is whether a boost::tree would really be
all that's needed and might be a more general component that could be used to
implement composite.  Of course, you are really depending on pointer semantics
and the clone, so it wouldn't be a minor change of course to go down that path...

I think instead of trying to create a 'patterns' library I would make 2
standalone libraries: vistor and composite.  The fact that these are
'patterns' (ie: well known designs) isn't really strong enough to bind them
together.
