Hello.

Unlike previous versions which are named with underscores only, the 
boost 1.56 b1 tarball is named boost-1_56_0_b1.{zip, tar.gz, tar.bz, 7z}.
Unpacking the tarball creates a boost-1_56_0_b1 directory instead of the 
expected one boost_1_56_0_b1

http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.53.0/
(older versions also follow the underscore filename pattern).

Is there any particular reason for doing this?
I suspect that it might cause problems to scripts looking for a specific 
pattern for the boost tar file and/or directory.

All the best,
