Broken links to C++ standard papers

Description

The C++ committee webpage moved from anubis.dkuug.dk to www.open-std.org years ago but Boost docs refer to old URLs that no longer work. e.g the link to Greg Colvin's paper in the references at the bottom of the smart ptr front page.

Also, several docs refer the N1150 by linking to n1550.html which should be .htm

I tried to attach a patch to fix the broken URLs, but trac rejects it as spam because it contains URLs. I can't remove the URLs from the patch, that would not work! :)

The attachment submission page says:

But there's nothing following. Useful.

I've attached a zipped patch. I think some of the files changed by the patch are generated, e.g. HTML generated from ReST, but I didn't do that, the patch was just produced with sed. Someone might want to regenerate things properly if the patch is committed.
