Thanks for figuring out the bcp process!

A few questions:
  1. It looks like the find operation will include boost files as well, is bcp 
smart enough to ignore those?
  2. Is 'rm libs' sufficient? It looks like you would need 'rm -r libs'?
  3. Why is libs produced by bcp?

I have some revisions to the README, rather than going back and forth, I just 
included the contents below
Some trailing whitespace cleanup, and other changes.






README for the mesos third party boost distribution.

We use the boost bcp utility to bundle only the minimum subset of boost headers
used by mesos.
See: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/tools/bcp/doc/html/index.html

Instructions for upgrading boost. (Based on boost 1.53.0)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Download a tarball of the latest version of boost.
    e.g. boost_1_53_0.tar.gz

2. Uncompress boost and build bcp.
    $ tar -zxvf boost_1_53_0.tar.gz
    $ cd boost_1_53_0
    $ ./bootstrap.sh
    $ ./b2 tools/bcp

3. Get list of all C++ source files in Mesos.
    $ find </path/to/mesos> -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.hpp" > files.txt

4. Scan the source files using bcp to produce a subset of the headers.
    $ mkdir ../boost-1.53.0
    $ cat files.txt | xargs -I {} ./dist/bin/bcp --scan --boost=./ {} 
../boost-1.53.0

5. Inspect contents of extracted headers and remove unnecessary lib files.
    $ cd ../boost-1.53.0
    $ rm libs

6. Update this README if needed, and copy this into boost-1.53.0 directory.
    $ cp </path/to/README> .

7. Compress Boost directory and bundle it into mess.
    $ cd ..
    $ GZIP=--best tar -zcf boost-1.53.0.tar.gz boost-1.53.0
    $ cp boost-1.53.0.tar.gz </path/to/mesos>/third_party/
    $ cp boost-1.53.0.tar.gz 
</path/to/mesos>/third_party/libprocess/third_party/

8. Update third_party/versions.am and third_party/libprocess/versions.am.

9. Verify correctness.
    $ make clean check
