Hi all,

I'm currently working on a large software project having an unchangeable
dependency on boost 1.33, but I would like to use functionality from a more
up-to-date version of the library (say 1.54). Can it be done? If so, how ?
One of the things we aim to achieve is use the std::hash and unoredered_map
from boost 1.54, while also using othe containers from boost 1.33.

Since boost if mostly header only and template-based, using an intermediary
interface doesn't work well. Any ideas ? Are we better off using another
library instead of boost to avoid conflicts ?

Help appreciated, thanks.

Kind regards,
Wilfried K.
