If there was a basic library for graphs then people who need specific
graph algorithm
implementations could contribute that implementation once they
complete it for their
application.  By this means a more complete graph library would
gradually evolve.
All we need for now is a well designed framework for implementing
graph algorithms
in with implementations of some common algorithms.
