I see. Actually, I just found out that the edge_connectivity function is
present in http://www.boost.org/boost/graph/edge_connectivity.hpp ,
but that is not documented yet. I will try to implement
a vertex_connectivity function now myself, as I haven't found
any existing implementations for the BGL. Btw, your book
really helps.
