Using a newer boost should be ok. Further, I could commit your libraries but what we really need is a proper plan to clean up of this stuff. There have been complaints that our lib/ directory is getting too big, so we should try to split it up. Usually you only need libraries for one visual studio version, and only a few developers need the debug libraries which tend to be huge. We should figure out a directory structure to make it possible to checkout only the needed subset, before we start adding a new batch of libraries for vs2012. Headers can be shared, maybe some (C only?) libraries can be as well. And then cmake/scons build systems should also be updated to follow this new structure.
