The project I am working on is used by a few hundred sites around the 
world.  So although I could change my downloaded version of boost, it 
would be tough for me to change their copies. :)

We don't put a version of boost in our source repository, instead we 
just have users download the most recent version that we support (in 
this case 1.30).

Are there any plans to release a boost 1.30.1 at some point that has 
fixes such as these?  I was hoping there was because then I could just 
have our users track the 1.30 branch (which I assume will become 1.30.1).

Thanks,
Allen
