I don't know. My own project is graph related stuff and at the time we
checked available implementations boost::graph just did not cut it. [We
can't affort O(n) operations for any of edge/node insertion/deletion and
edge contraction and boost::graph had that in some cases]

Well, it was more or less "production code".

The question is not if your or my code is shorter but how much an interface
to boost::graph would cost us.
