Forgot to mention: I don't think any kind of important code should be 
depending on binaries.  For this reason, I don't think that Boost should 
be distributing binaries at all.  To me, it's bad practice.

I realize that in some cases it's unavoidable, (libc, etc. zlib, 
et.all).  But still, I should be less preferred option for code which 
requires any consideration of modern security problems.
