I think you might need to give a little more background on the project
you're working on. I'm not very familiar with component detection or
its applications. Can you describe your project and its applications?

Don't underestimate the amount of work required to write a Boost
Library, even if you already have some work finished. It may easily
take the rest of the summer (and most likely longer) bring your
existing work into line with Boost standards. Getting the work
accepted as a library can take a year or more.
