If the work includes the extension of the library (e.g., new algorithms to the BGL), then there's inherent value for that library. You would probably have to find some kind of "sweet spot" in the proposal. How much are you contributing back to the library or Boost in general, vs. just using the libraries.
I know :) I was actually referring to the code your Jan/Feb submission. If you submit a proposal, you might consider focusing more on the BGL side of proposal. Consider extending your work or adding a couple more algorithms. It would be a lot easier to accept. Your thesis project could be described as a "testing ground" for that work, although it probably has great value as an example also. Hopefully, you don't take from what I just wrote that I think that BGL are more important than your thesis. I'm just referring to how you might write the proposal to make it more competitive.
