Hanspeter,
      I would also point out that the reason that the boost1.xx releases
prior to boost1.53 don't exist on 10.9 is that
boost1.53 was the first release sufficiently patched for libc++ to properly
build against the new default c++ library
on 10.9. If you had problems building boost1.55 against the newer Xcode
5.1, there are patches back ported from
upstream to fix that…
