Is boost going to start treading on the toes of ACE with these libraries?  I
don't mind, its always nice to have a choice, but ACE already provides these
libraries, and most of the other boost libraries seem very different to what
ACE provides so why not stay that way?  I'm quite happy to use both
libraries in our projects.
