Ouch! Any idea if it is a fixable problem?

I guess as a workaround we could include the patch file in trunk, and then
add a patch step to the modular boost instructions until the switchover,
then go ahead and apply the actual patch. That seems pretty lame, however,
and require s"patch" be available which is not a certainty on Windows.
