I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'll try to answer as best
I can. Unlike the STL, boost is not really a single entity, but rather a
collection of libraries under a single banner. You could think of it as
a sandbox for ideas of things folks think would be useful to add to the
language standard. While there are various support packages within boost
used by a lot of the boost libraries, you'll find a lot of distinct
components in boost that logically independent to the rest of boost (the
Boost Graph Library comes to mind).

So, saying something is "based on Boost" is kind of nebulous. I'm sure
there is lots of work out there which depends on Boost, or perhaps was
inspired by things found in boost. There are also probably libraries
which did not get added to Boost (can't think of any). I wouldn't say
either of them were based on Boost though. ;-)
