Tom has pointed a typo in file names in the file. Correct one is now attached, and instructions
for validating are the same:

First, verify your downloads have the right checksums, by putting the file alongside the
downloads, and running:

      $ sha256sum -c boost_1_61_0.sums.asc

This should produce "OK" message for each source archive you have available.

Second, verify that the checksums file itself was not modified:

      $ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv DA472E8659753BA4
      $ gpg --verify boost_1_61_0.sums.asc

If everything is good, this should say "Good Signature" and also report these
key fingerprints:

      Primary key fingerprint: C5F0 F367 AA66 616F B839  806E DA47 2E86 5975 3BA4
           Subkey fingerprint: 7805 7A0D 045A 2DC5 5453  BD81 0F1A 3ECD 4EAC 2316

You might want to trust they key for future use if fingerprints match, consult
GPG manual for details.
