What about comparing boost to competitors? There are a lot of thread 
incapsulations, a lot of RegEx libraries etc. If you found a detailed 
technical comparison, would you read it? From one side, when I'm looking 
for a new library, I'd like to find a compact overview when several 
competitors are compared. It saves a lot of time. From other side, 
"feature comparison charts" are so offten used for pure marketing stuff...
