[Boost-users] [BGL] read_graphviz and dynamic properties

I have been trying (unsuccessfully for the past hour), to read a
graphviz file into an adjacency_list type.  The program stops with a
SIGABRT because I haven't mapped "node_id" to anything within the
dynamic properties argument.  However, I really have no desire to map
node_id to anything; this is a very large graph and I'd like to avoid
the memory consumption.

If I try to map node id to the vertex_index_t map I receive a compiler
error stating that's a  const property map.  If I want to map node_id
to vertex_name_t map, I have to add that property to my adjacency_list
type which will bloat the memory consumption.  I just want to build
the graph without worry about the properties.  Is there anyway this
can be done easily?

The documentation on read_graphviz and write_graphviz are sorely
lacking on this subject in my opinion.
