I noticed that boost-1.32 appeared at
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/

I also notice that it includes 2 patches, and only builds a single version
of libs.
I don't know if that's because it used:
-sBUILD=release

or because of this patch:

I'm wondering what this does. I'm not too concerned about just release,
without debug, but what about threading single/multi? Did I get only
single or only mt? Should I care?
