One other relevant categories:

- header only
- rtti required

It is a common misconception that boost libraries needs building.

I'm not of a icon making guy, but simply a link might be
enough, e.g.:

* any - [header only] Safe, generic container for single ...

* array - [header only] [serialization] STL compliant

* assign - [header only] [serialization] [no exceptions]  Filling ...

The link could be a different style than the link for the library
