[boost] Interest in a dynamic-state-machine framework?

I'm currently Boostifying the FSM module currently
located at <http://swiss-gd-knife.sourceforge.net/>. 
(Yes, that means I'll license the result under the
BSL.)  I've also implemented a pushdown automaton and
will combine the two into a common library.

To distinguish this library from Boost.Statechart, I'm
treating the state machines as *data structures* to be
initialized and manipulated *algorithmically* before
normal execution.

My primary question is: does anyone have a need for
such a library that is not already satisfied by either
Boost.Statechart or Boost.Spirit?  Off the top of my
head, I can think of only two application domains
where this library would be useful: artificial
intelligence and graph-walking simulations (e.g.
mazes).  If anyone has another domain in mind, please
chime in.  I'd like to have a better idea of my
potential target audience so I can hone the library
design before submitting to the vault.

                              TIA,
                              Cromwell D. Enage
