[boost] [1.35] proposal to add two platforms as release platforms for 1.35

I'd like to propose two additional platforms as release platforms
for 1.35:

  1. gcc-3.4.6_linux_ia64 (runner id: linux_ia64_gcc).

     It is all green on the trunk with Interprocess library marked
     as n/a.

  2. gcc-4.2.1_hpux_ia64 (runner id: HP-UX_ia64_gcc).

     Three libraries are currently failing on trunk: Interprocess,
     Regex and Serialization.

     . Interprocess library: as for other HP platforms, this library
       will have to be marked n/a. I don't believe I'll have time to
       investigate failures and propose fixes in the 1.35 timeframe.

     . Regex library: fails because of the problem in
       <http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/01/132318.php>
       The problem does not exist in release branch (and is fixed
       in trunk by <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/42745>)

     . Serialization library: test_exported* group of tests fail the
       same way they fail on all the platforms with gcc 4.1 and higher,
       including BGD-Ubuntu, which is a release platform for 1.35. I
       assume, this issue will be resolved before 1.35 is released and
       resolution will automatically cover gcc-4.2.1_hpux_ia64 as well.

If I get a permission, I'll start testing these platform on the release
branch, in addition to continuing testing on trunk.

Thanks,
  Boris
