Subject: [boost] [1.44.0][Math] Requesting permission to merge to release.

If possible, I'd like to fix this issue:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4504 for the final 1.44 release.

The fix is trivial:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset?reponame=&new=64597%40trunk%2Fboost%2Fmath%2Fspecial_functions%2Fdetail%2Ft_distribution_inv.hpp&old=59129%40trunk%2Fboost%2Fmath%2Fspecial_functions%2Fdetail%2Ft_distribution_inv.hpp
but the actual bug manifests as a rather nasty numerical error. There's
also a related patch to update the tests, which is slightly more risky in
that it adds many new test cases:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset?reponame=&new=64597%40trunk%2Flibs%2Fmath%2Ftest%2Ftest_students_t.cpp&old=51576%40trunk%2Flibs%2Fmath%2Ftest%2Ftest_students_t.cpp.

Is it acceptable to merge these to release at this late stage?

Thanks, John.
