Did a quick survey...

Libraries that use assert() in test files:

     conversion
     dynamic_bitset
     function
     graph
     integer
     iterator
     program_options
     python
     random
     regex
     serialization
     spirit
     spirit/phoenix
     utility
     variant

Libraries which use assert() in example files: (Sometimes examples are 
used as tests.)

     algorithm/minmax
     format
     graph
     iterator
     mpl
     multi_array
     random
     rational
     regex
     serialization
     signals
     spirit
     thread

Libraries which use assert() in source files: (Should probably be using 
BOOST_ASERT.)

     filesystem
     program_options
     python
     regex
     serialization
     signals
     thread

And finally there are some number of headers which use assert(). Which 
also likely should be using BOOST_ASSERT.
