Description:
A few packages require a fairly recent Boost version, which EPEL does not
provide. EPEL 5 and 6 have had Boost-1.41 (and EPEL Boost-1.53) for a while (as
a parallel installation for EPEL 5), thanks to Robert Scheck and the Zarafa
project. The very same way they built Boost-1.41 for EPEL 5, I therefore
propose to build Boost-1.57 for EPEL 6 and 7, as a parallel installation to the
currently officially supported Boost packages (Boost-1.31 on EPEL 5, Boost-1.41
on EPEL 6 and Boost-1.53 on EPEL 7).

To minimise the work (and the support!) to be required, I re-start from the
Boost-1.57 package (on Fedora 22), which cleanly builds on EPEL 7 without any
modification. For EPEL 5 and its MPI-related issues, I re-inject the
work-arounds of Boost141 and Boost148 (on EPEL 5). For EPEL 6, work-arounds of
Boost148 may have to be re-injected.
