Irrespective of whether a Boost.Synch spin-out is a good idea (sounds like 
it, but I don't know the details), any new library added to Boost, but not 
yet released will be in develop but not master (or at least master will be 
empty).  Maybe the issue here is a transitional one due to the conversion - 
shouldn't synch be in master, albeit the directory will be empty?  Perhaps 
creating an empty master branch would be a temporary fix - or would that 
mess up the release procedure?

Whatever we need to figure out the right thing to do here so we know what 
happens when new libs are added,

John.
