[boost] [1.35.0] Release candidate process

There is a seemingly endless set of improvements to *could* be made to 
1.35.0. But I think that it is time to try to identify any showstoppers, 
fix those, and defer everything else to the next release.

Because we now build release branch snapshots daily, the process of 
issuing release candidates is a bit different than in the past. The 
daily release branch snapshots are in effect the release candidates. So 
I guess the only thing the release manager has to do is create an 
RC_whatever tag, rename the current files on the ftp site, and post an 
announcement. Unless anyone feels a different procedure should be used, 
I'll go ahead and do that in the next couple of days.

For the links to 1.35.0 release related material, including the current 
snapshot, see http://beta.boost.org/development/testing.html#Snapshots.
