Comment (by michaelld):

 I know little about why Boost patches are in place. I can see from the
 Portfile comments that at last some portion of the patches were integrated
 into Boost a while back, but clearly not all of them. In my belief, if the
 patches can still be applied then they should continue to be used, that
 there's a reason they are there in the first place & are highly likely to
 continue to be needed.

 That said, if folks want to do testing by commenting out any specific
 patch then I'd welcome feedback as to if/how that worked. I don't have
 time to do this just right now.
