All I'm really interested in is the boost graph library, which as Michael said, is header only and I don't think includes any of the smart pointer stuff.  So, as far as I can tell, in the short term I can just add the headers I'm using to the inkscape repository. 

Cheers

In the past, a lot of the boost requests have been because people wanted
to use the boost "smart pointer" class, which we really, really don't
want people using because the temptation to misuse it is so strong
(plus, we have a real garbage collector).

If we imported boost into the tree, I'd almost be tempted to see if we
could excise that class...
