Christian maintains extensions in his SVN repo @ Google Code

You may want to look at this thread:

I'd vote for

- single header extentions
#include <boost/gil/extensions/a.hpp>
#include <boost/gil/extensions/b.hpp>

- extentions with more complex structure
#include <boost/gil/extensions/io/a.hpp>
#include <boost/gil/extensions/numeric/a.hpp>

I think it's a good approach and works well for Boost Geometry
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/geometry/boost/geometry/extensions/
