Hi All,

I just downloaded the windows boost binaries from
https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.67.0/binaries/, linked from
the boost downloads page. They are missing the boost_numpy library.
This (silently) doesn't build if the python installation that boost
finds is missing numpy.

This is listed as "Third Party" so apologies if this is the wrong
place to report it - but it's not clear from the page who makes them.
I also couldn't find any mention of this, so don't know if it's a
deliberate exclusion.

Nick
