[boost] SourceForge Vandalism

The Scons Wiki was recently vandalized. This is just a reminder about
our exposed assets. If you have open-source resources which ought to
be backed up, this might be a good time...

Chad Austin reported that somebody vandalized a whole bunch of
SourceForge sites in this way, not just SCons.  I forwarded Terrel the
information Chad supplied, so he should be able to recover things as of
two weeks ago.

I'm going to look into a regular mirroring/backup strategy (for
everything, not just the Wiki) to guard against this in the future.
