[boost] Sandbox cleanup

Folks,

it appears that at present, our SVN sandbox is in fairly confused state. A 
fresh checkout contains objects of very different kinds, in particular:

- 'boost' directory, that has assorted headers supposedly meant for
  future.

- 'libs' directory, with various libraries

- Pile of top-level directories for libraries-in-development, each 
  containing 'boost' and 'libs' subfolders.

- Subdirectory SCons, with a copy of entire Boost tree, buildable with
  scons. 

- Subdirectory 'win32-doc-tools', which surely does not contain a library

- Some directories named after specific people. It's not clear whether those 
  directories contain a single future library, or several, or what.

It seems that a straight-forward approach to fix that is to have two separate
areas in sandbox, as follows:

        [using fixed font to read the below might work better]

        /sandbox
                /libraries
                        /proposed-lib1
                                /boost
                                /libs

                        ....

                /branches
                        /jrhacker-assorted-fixes
                                [complete branch of trunk, with changes]
                        /SCons
                                [complete branch of trunk, with SConstruct, etc]

Comments?
