Some linux distributions add a -N to the version of the upstream  
package.
It is possible that the OP is looking for the source code  
corresponding to
a binary (rpm or such) in one of such distributions.
In this case the boost version would be 1.33.0 + any patches the
distributor has applied (which can be extracted from the .rpm, .deb or
other packaging system used).
