     update Nightshade to work with boost 1.52 is the only way to go.

I already tried that, but Nightshade doesn't compile with boost-1.52... :-((


I could rant about the stupidity that is boost and/or packages that
depend on it for some time but Flameeyes does a far better job at that.

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