Here is a link to my SOC project
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/SOC/2010/bit_masks/. The current
status of the project is unfinished however I plan on completing it and
submitting it for formal review some time near the end of December or early
January. (School and work are preventing me from having enough time to
finish it currently)
