Well, I have a full blown commercial library called vZOOM (only released to 
Sun so far, via. CoolThreads Contest; it's one of the finalists), but it 
contains some of my patented algorithms:

I have another full blown library, but it contains an IBM patent application 
(e.g., SMR):

http://appcore.home.comcast.net/

However, after I strip SMR from AppCore, this is planned, then it will only 
consist of MY prior art... I wonder how Boost community would feel about 
incorporating AppCore into Boost...
