OK, having done that I now get an error trying to download the
snapshot tarballs:

# Downloading "http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/snapshot/boost-CVS-HEAD.tar.bz2"

Checking with wget, it seems that this is not a valid URL:

wget http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/snapshot/boost-CVS-HEAD.tar.bz2
