Since I've gotten no answer for these questions yet, thought I'd answer 
them with my current knowledge.  However be aware that I'm still seeking 
an answer.  Behond this, since I'm partly guessing, I maybe wrong. 
Please tell me if so.
First, it is not possible to access the internal properties of the base 
graph through a subgraph, using the subgraph's "local" descriptors.
Second, I assume that this local/global descriptor mapping is whats 
behind the subgraph's requirement that the base class provide the 
vertex_index_t and edge_index_t internal properties.
At this point, I assume that armed with a local vertex descriptor, it 
will be necessary to do a search through the base graphs vertex_index_t 
property container with std::find_if.  I am however, not sure that I can 
get to the global vertex descripter from the iterator that find_if would 
provide.  Do the property container iterators support the operator- 
operator?
