True, this should be on the boost-interest list, but it is GPL so
quite worthless for many boost users, if you wished to uninfect it
(and perhaps submit it as a Boost project) then many more people would
be interested.  I release all my code under a Boost-style license, the
utter crap of the GPL that is infecting that product would prevent me
from doing that.
