New description:
There was a discussion on sage-devel a while ago about including the Boost
headers [1]. As noted there, the latest version of the optional spkg
`polymake` doesn't compile with the current boost package. The current
boost package is called `boost-cropped` because it contains only a subset
of the boost headers, because of package size.
This new package is contains ''all'' headers, which is still only a subset
of the upstream tarball. The total packaged size is ~ 5M, which feels
reasonable to me.
I've checked that the current version `polybori-0.8.2` and the current
upstream version `polymake-2.12-rc3` both compile under Sage with these
headers. I'm also submitting an spkg for polymake in another ticket.

Replying to [comment:10 kcrisman]:
> Dumb question: Will the change in package name (though salutary) affect
upgrading?
Yes.
> (I.e., would we need a build patch for that?)
Yes, but there is such a patch.
