Boost packages (libboost, boost-devel, boost)

[Joel Eidsath]

Hello,

As I was told there is no current maintainer, I am volunteering to
maintain the three cygwin boost packages. However, I have a couple of
questions:

1) Should I just build the packages for cygwin 1.7, or do they need to
be built for 1.5 and 1.7?
2) Does anybody know what problem the two patches in the old 1.33
build scripts are supposed to deal with?
