sdesc: "Portable C++ libraries useful across a broad spectrum of applications."
ldesc: "Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.

The emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard
Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a
broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial
and non-commercial use.

One goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the C++ Standards
Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) as a step toward becoming part of a
future C++ Standard. More Boost libraries are proposed for the upcoming TR2."
