It shure would be fancy.

Well, the old function regression was my first implementation, but since
then the code has changed a lot. I'm currently working on the
Serengeti-problem (with lions and a gazelle, you know). It's not
running yet, because of design dilemmas.. urk..

There are two things I have difficulties with: first i'd like to put
values in the edges. But my implementation uses different value types
in one graph, like a double and a vector of doubles. How does one
implement that in boost? Second, it seems that I have to use indices
with each node, in order to put the right edges in the right slots. So
what kind of container should be used?

I'd love to see what you've got.

I know!
