[boost] 1.29.0 Release Schedule

My proposed release schedule for 1.29.0 is to branch for release next 
Thursday, the 15th.

The actual release will then happen whenever the branch is stable, usually 
about a week later.

For the last release, there seemed to be a tendency to wait for the branch, 
then try to fix problems.  That means the fixes have to be committed to 
both the branch and the main trunk.  Seems like it would be easier to fix 
problems before the branch:-?

It is still up in the air as to whether or not the new Unit Test stuff will 
be in this release.  Gennadiy and I are testing with some success, but I've 
set a requirement for merging unit_test_development of it working with 
Borland 5.5.1, GCC 3.1, Intel 6.0, Metrowerks 8.1, and Microsoft 7.0.  (If 
it doesn't work, the regression tests don't work.  That's why we have to 
hold that library to a high standard.)

Please let me know if the above schedule isn't satisfactory.
