O yea I was going to submit a patch to add a note along with some more
elaboration on "hard way" building because its incomplete for a fresh
install. i.e. missing make and cmake packages. Also the run "pacman
-Syu" after fresh install is wrong as it will throw errors, theres a
command you have to run first before per the msys2 website's
instructions.

Actual boost package downgrade is just:

pacman -U 
"http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-boost-1.57.0-4-any.pkg.tar.xz";
