In http://boost.org/libs/libraries.htm, I suggest changing the heading 
and link that reads "Broken compiler workarounds".
1. If this means "Workarounds for broken compilers", then change either 
to that phrase or to "Broken-compiler workarounds"; prefer the former 
for clarity.
2. If this means "Compiler workarounds that are broken", change to that 
phrase.
As it stands, this is ambiguous: it is not clear which noun the 
adjective "broken" modifies. Does this section give workarounds (a good 
thing) or report workarounds that are broken (an unfortunate thing)? 
Following the links, I see it is the former (after all, what would be 
the point in giving workarounds that are broken?), but this is not 
obvious at first glance.
Sorry if this is not the right place to post this.
