22 I wonder what the view on bundled boost headers is with Gentoo devs.
23 I'm currently working on a project where I need boost, and now I'm
24 thinking about using BCP
25 (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/tools/bcp) to bundle what I need
26 within the project. At least this would guarantee that the package
27 wouldn't be affected by this issue.
