How does this differ from 
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/math/doc/gcd/html/index.html ?

WRT the other ideas, this looks to be too much for one SOC project, there 
was also a previous Boost.Tree library for a 2006 SOC project that you may 
want to take a look at: 
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/sandbox/SOC/2006/tree
