I'm curious if lock factory functions have been considered?  Combined with the 
C++0x "auto" keyword (or some other kind of type erasure if you wanted to 
emulate), it seems like they could allow you to avoid having to specify the 
template type of locks explicitly.  Like:

template<typename M>
boost::unique_lock<M> make_unique_lock(M &mutex);

boost::mutex m;
auto lock = make_unique_lock(m);
