Does boost have a fixed-point math library?

I guess not. I wrote something to suit my immediate needs. This is my first try at writing boost-like code. I'd appreciate suggestions/criticism. One thing I'd like to do is add optional over/underflow, but I'm not sure how I'll do that yet. For another I think I should specialize std::numeric_limits for the fixed type, but I'm not sure what to put for a lot of the entries as I've only ever needed min() and max() myself.
