I'm sorry for the late answer -- this email slipped through, 
unfortunately. As Barend said, I am working on adapting a legacy data 
structure, and I am also documenting the procedure, and hoping to 
contribute this to the official Boost.Geometry documentation. :)

The adaption is currently only non-mutating, but once the non-mutating 
adaption process is documented and the documentation is merged, I hope 
to extend to mutating algorithms as well.

Regards,
Mats
