+Building Boost for Drill on MacOs/Linux
+--------------------------------
+
+These instructions are using Boost version 1.60.0 which is recommended
+
+Assuming there is a BOOST_BUILD_DIR
+
+$ cd $BOOST_BUILD_DIR
+$ tar zxf boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
+$ cd $BOOST_BUILD_DIR/boost_1_60_0
+$ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$BOOST_BUILD_DIR/boost_1_60_0/
+$ ./b2 tools/bcp
+$ cd $BOOST_BUILD_DIR/drill_boost_1_60_0
+
+# Use boost bcp to rename the boost namespace to drill_boost
+# the following builds a subset of boost without icu. You may need to add
more modules to include icu.
+# bcp documentation can be found here:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_60_0/tools/bcp/doc/html/index.html
+
+$ $BOOST_BUILD_DIR/boost_1_60_0/dist/bin/bcp --namespace=drill_boost
--namespace-alias --boost=$BOOST_BUILD_DIR/boost_1_60_0/ shared_ptr random
context chrono date_time regex system timer thread asio smart_ptr bind config
build regex config assign $BOOST_BUILD_DIR/drill_boost_1_60_0

according to my tests with boost 1.55 (which is the minimum boost version
we require), multiprecision and functional are missing
