Where is this documented?

* On a related note: the parallel graph lib does not appear in the library 
list at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0.
* libs/graph-parallel/index.html is broken (points to the wrong location).
* I'm having trouble understanding how the infrastructure of the library 
works from browsing the docs... can't find any mention of 
boost/graph/use_mpi.hpp, or even any complete examples for that matter.

IMO it's desirable to break this dependency if possible, but I can't make 
any suggestions without understanding what's going on ;-)

Cheers, John.
