It would be good to have those things.  The best resources would probably 
be the BGL book, as well as books like "Generic Programming and the STL" 
(which is on generic programming in general).  Otherwise, you'd probably 
need to just look at the BGL code and documentation and the papers on BGL 
and GGCL (from the 1998-2000 time frame, mostly).
