I'll take a stab at this if someone can help me get started.  Should I
do:

  svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk  boost-trunk

to get the code?  Troy mentioned a 'patch branch', so I'm wondering if
I'm supposed to do something like this instead:

   git clone git://sodium.resophonic.com/boost_patches boost-cmake

I tried this, and it seemed to download a ton of stuff, but then it
carped:

Um, okay... I know mercurial pretty well, but this is the first time
I've ever tried git, so somebody please tell me if I'm totally barking
up the wrong tree.

Basically, I'm wondering how to avoid having to redo fixes that people
have already submitted patches for (e.g., setting the minor version
number correctly in the top-level CMakeLists.txt file).  Is there some
process in place for this? Should I just hack the trunk and submit any
patches against it?  And who should I send said patches to?
