Tim, this is great news but I have graphviz installed. Can you use that, too? Is your code written such that the graph libraries can be exchanged easily? That would be Good Design[tm].

Does anyone know what the deal is with the AT&T license (under which graphviz is released)? Can we use graphviz code?

I suspect boost is a much lighter weight option than the graphviz libraries... also more actively developed (outside AT&T research).

Graphviz tools are able to output svg. It would be nice if they could embed the appropriate connector tags so that inkscape could preserve the edges as connectors. I wonder if we can persuade AT&T to do this?
