It's even more important to provide this functionality in boost as the 
LWG obviously decided not yet to include these (IMO crucial) extensions 
into TR1:

Rationale:
The LWG agreed that there are usability problems with the current 
interface, but thought that this proposal was too large, and raised too 
many design issues, for it to be accepted for the TR. A library of 
hashing primitives might be a good candidate for TR2.
