 As a long-time boost user, I understand your frustration. However, this
 sort of thing is typical of Boost; the "official" way of handling this is
 to check boost versions or some-such.

 The main problem is that the patches that I committed are '''Already'''
 part of boost, so they will have to be dealt with at some point.

 The horrible truth is that most packages I've seen usually include a
 private copy of boost that they build and test, precisely to avoid this
 sort of thing.

 If I remove the patches as suggested, the port will simply break in a
 couple of months when the next release of boost comes out.
