So perhaps these sort of debugger add-ins could be added under 'tools/debug'. 
  If someone could write up an html page that describes them we could simply 
add a link from the current boost.tools page.  Since some of them are 
ultimately library specific, it might be nice if the library docs would add a 
link back to these.

Does that make sense?  Do we have a volunteer(s)?
