[boost] Proposal for development of new boost libraries under CVS

Isn't branching the solution to this problem?

Also, we should have a convention for tag names for
boost releases/branches/etc. 

For the main line, how about:
  boost-1-16-1   (for the current release 1.16.1)

For branches, how about use the name of the new library:
  iterator-adaptors
  pattern-matching

This also has the advantage that changes needed to common
files like config.hpp can be made and the revision history
will be appropriately recorded.

Cheers,

Jeremy
