Since people are piping up about now... I sort of like the "unofficial
extension" idea. It brings the unofficial part out in the open and at
the same time hints that this will not work without the rest of boost.
I'd probably say just

Unofficial Extension
<>Boost
<>C++ Libraries

I like this idea too, however. Maybe we should make the boost logo
itself smaller (for unofficial extensions), so that the /logo/ is added
to the /unofficial extension/ part, not the other way around.
