Thanks Beman. We pull the release straight from SVN (there's only a 
couple of us using Boost so it shouldn't be too big a drain on bandwidth 
I hope). I'm not sure how sensible that really is despite that though, 
but it does mean that we have a script that will fetch and build Boost, 
and do a few things so that we can keep multiple versions side by side.

For people just starting with Boost this means for Linux/Mac/Windows 
they can just grab our scripts and have everything done for them whilst 
they're doing something more interesting.

The scripts are available here:
    http://svn.felspar.com/external/Boost/

I guess I should add a readme describing what happens as they go about 
things...
