Could a 1.30.1 be released in 3 or 4 weeks time when these changes had 
have time to be tried?  I don't know if it is boost policy to release 
updated releases like this, (only been using it since 1.29.0) but it 
would be nice, as mentioned by Alisdair before, to use a boost release 
'out of the box'.
