Comment (by mascguy):

 FYI, I've started the refactoring effort for our Boost ports, with the
 goal of sharing as much logic as possible via a new portgroup. (As well as
 migrating to a containing port and subports.)

 It's mostly a skeleton at this point, but hope to make progress over the
 next week or two:

 And a big thanks to @CJones, who simplified our legacy Boost port via a
 shim. That's one less item to tackle, and it's a beautiful (and elegant)
 approach:
