Comment:

 SF doesn't have options for tagging source code as anything but portable.
 So the only choice I see is to tag the release packages with an
 appropriate name that identifies the kind of EOLs in the source:

   * boost_1_38_0_crlf.zip
   * boost_1_38_0_crlf.7z
   * boost_1_38_0_lf.tar.gz
   * boost_1_38_0_lf.tar.bz2

 And we may want to consider adding archives for some other common options:

   * boost_1_38_0_lf.7z (for Unix with 7zp)
   * boost_1_38_0_crlf.tar.bz2 (for Cygwin users with CRLF installs)
