Hi Augustus,

I'd be happy to answer specific questions if you have any. For the Heaps and
Queues project you might want to look at the boost/pending directory and in
the sandbox libs/pri_queue (IIRC). The BGL projects require a pretty good
working knowledge of the BGL and its concepts. It looks like the Bits and
Ints project may actually be two different projects--one working with
compact data representations and the other building a library for integer
programming.
