Comment(by titus@…):

 I gave https://github.com/pocb/boost  a try today.

 Almost works.
 I checked out the 1.48.0 branch and used

 CC=clang CXX=clang++ ccmake <cmake-boost-dir>

 After make ; sudo make install I was able to build and link a small
 project that uses iostreams+zlib date_time regex file_system and system.

 Two patches were necessary for me to link chrono and locale.
 I attach them here.

 But it seems to me that also this project does not really try hard to
 integrate volunteers...

 I don't understand where to send these patches (and if they would be
 welcome).
