Update: this is straight from the Boost downloads. First, the binaries
that are available are definitely different in size from the previous
file I downloaded. Not sure that's because of a workspace directory
what may have been intentionally or inadvertently included. Second,
still reflects code that is out of sync with the documented update, at
least where uuid, and likely several other spots, are concerns. Here
it is 7 months since the version was available and the issue is still
there. Would someone verify this please? Thank you...
