If you read my foreword <http://opensource.adobe.com/asl_foreword.html> 
you will see I give a great deal of credit to Boost and the libraries 
do depend on Boost. Although I'm not active on this list (too much 
traffic for me to track) - I do know many people here and have folks 
like Mat forward me information of interest.

As for the question about the relationship of this work to Mat -

ASL is the work of Adobe's Software Technology Lab - the team Mat is 
on, although Mat isn't working directly on these libraries at the 
moment - he and Alex Stepanov (another STLab member) are working hard 
on another project. Certainly they influence mine and Foster's work a 
great deal. I'd be happy to answer technical questions - either 
directly or though the ASL forum on SourceForge.
