Thanks Jeremiah,

  I am newbie in boost and I don't know how to use boost.build. Is there any
tutorial for it ? I was wondering if the newer version of boost 1.41.0 still
requires setting up boost.build.
I would like just to get the boost from apt-get and start using BGL. :( ...
Am I dreaming ? :)

perhaps the graphviz format is more stable (or with better integration) than
the graphml format ... is it true ? I dont need fancy stuff .. just reading
and writing small and simple graphs.

in other words, is there any quick way of read/write small and simple graphs
with BGL ?

Regards,
Alexandre
