Log message:
Update boost to 1.34.1.  This is based on the patches provided by Brook Milligan
in PR pkg/36558.  Committing it right after the freeze so that we have enough
time to resolve the problems that this will surely cause.

New Libraries

    * Foreach Library:
        BOOST_FOREACH macro for easily iterating over the elements of a
        sequence, from Eric Niebler.
    * Statechart Library:
        Arbitrarily complex finite state machines can be implemented in
        easily readable and maintainable C++ code, from Andreas Huber.
    * TR1 Library:
        An implementation of the C++ Technical Report on Standard Library
        Extensions, from John Maddock.
        This library does not itself implement the TR1 components, rather
        it's a thin wrapper that will include your standard library's TR1
        implementation (if it has one), otherwise it will include the Boost
        Library equivalents, and import them into namespace std::tr1. Highlights
        include: Reference Wrappers, Smart Pointers, result_of,
        Function Object Binders, Polymorphic function wrappers, Type Traits,
        Random Number Generators and Distributions, Tuples, Fixed Size Array,
        Hash Function Objects, Regular Expressions and
        Complex Number Additional Algorithms.
    * Typeof Library:
        Typeof operator emulation, from Arkadiy Vertleyb and Peder Holt.
    * Xpressive Library:
        Regular expressions that can be written as strings or as expression
        templates, and that can refer to each other and themselves recursively
        with the power of context-free grammars, from Eric Niebler.

Updated Libraries

    * Assign Library:
          o Support for ptr_map<key,T> via the new function ptr_map_insert()
          o Support for initialization of Pointer Containers when the containers
            hold pointers to an abstract base class.
    * Date_time library:
          o Support for new US/Canada timezone rules and other bug fixes.
            See Change History for details.
    * Filesystem Library:
        Major upgrade in preparation for submission to the C++ Standards Committee
        for TR2. Changes include:
          o Internationalization, provided by class templates basic_path,
            basic_filesystem_error, basic_directory_iterator
            and basic_directory_entry.
          o Simplification of the path interface by eliminating special constructors
            to identify native formats.
          o Rationalization of predicate function design, including the addition of
            several new functions.
          o Clearer specification by reference to POSIX, the ISO/IEEE Single Unix
            Standard, with provisions for Windows and other operating systems.
          o Preservation of existing user code whenever possible.
          o More efficient directory iteration.
          o Addition of a recursive directory iterator.
    * Function Library:
        Boost.Function now implements a small buffer optimization, which can
        drastically improve the performance when copying or constructing
        Boost.Function objects storing small function objects. For instance,
        bind(&X:foo, &x, _1, _2) requires no heap allocation when placed into
        a Boost.Function object.
    * Functional/Hash Library
          o Use declarations for standard classes, so that the library doesn't
            need to include all of their headers
          o Deprecated the <boost/functional/hash/*.hpp> headers.
          o Add support for the BOOST_HASH_NO_EXTENSIONS macro, which disables
            the extensions to TR1
          o Minor improvements to the hash functions for floating point numbers.
    * Graph Library:
          o edmonds_maximum_cardinality_matching, from Aaron Windsor.
          o lengauer_tarjan_dominator_tree, from JongSoo Park.
          o compressed_sparse_row_graph, from Jeremiah Willcock and Douglas Gregor
            of Indiana University.
          o sorted_erdos_renyi_iterator, from Jeremiah Willcock
            of Indiana University.
          o biconnected_components now supports a visitor and named parameters,
            from Janusz Piwowarski.
          o adjacency_matrix now models the Bidirectional Graph concept.
          o dijkstra_shortest_paths now calls vis.initialize_vertex for each
            vertex during initialization.
          o Note: the name of the compiled library for the GraphViz reader has
            changed to boost_graph (from bgl-viz) to match Boost conventions.
          o See the complete revision history for more information.
    * MultiArray Library:
        Boost.MultiArray now by default provides range-checking for operator[].
        Range checking can be disabled by defining the macro BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS
        before including multi_array.hpp. A bug in multi_array::resize() related
        to storage orders was fixed.
    * Multi-index Containers Library:
          o New random access indices.
          o Non key-based indices feature new rearrange facilities.
          o This version also includes a number of optimizations and usage
            improvements. For a complete list of changes,
            see the library release notes.
    * Optional Library:
          o boost::none_t and boost::none now added to Optional's documentation
          o Relational operators now directly support arguments of type 'T'
            and 'none_t'
          o operator->() now also works with reference types.
          o Helper functions make_optional(val), make_optional(cond,val)
            and get_optional_value_or(opt,alternative_value) added.
          o Constructor taking a boolean condition (as well as a value) added.
          o Member function get_value_or(alternative_value) added.
          o Incompatbility bug with mpl::apply<> fixed.
          o Converting assignment bug with uninitialized lvalues fixed.
    * Parameter Library:
          o Every ArgumentPack is now a valid MPL Forward Sequence.
          o Support for unnamed arguments (those whose keyword is deduced from
            their types) is added.
          o Support for named and unnamed template arguments is added.
          o New overload generation macros solve the forwarding problem directly.
          o See also the Python library changes, below.
    * Pointer Container Library:
          o Support for serialization via Boost.Serialization.
          o Exceptions can be disabled by defining the macro
            BOOST_PTR_CONTAINER_NO_EXCEPTIONS before including any header.
            This macro is defined by default if BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is defined.
          o Additional std::auto_ptr<T> overloads added s.t. one can also pass
            std::auto_ptr<T> instead of only T* arguments to member functions.
          o transfer() now has weaker requirements s.t. one can transfer objects
            from ptr_container<Derived> to ptr_container<Base>,
    * Python Library:
          o Boost.Python now automatically appends C++ signatures to docstrings.
            The new docstring_options.hpp header is available to control the
            content of docstrings.
          o stl_input_iterator, for turning a Python iterable object into an STL
            input iterator, from Eric Niebler.
          o Support for void* conversions is added.
          o Integrated support for wrapping C++ functions built with the
            parameter library; keyword names are automatically known to
            docsstrings.
          o Enhancements to the API for better embedding support
            (boost::python::import(), boost::python::exec()
             and boost::python::exec_file()).
    * Signals Library:
        More improvements to signal invocation performance from Robert Zeh.
    * Smart Pointers Library:
          o Allocator support as proposed in N1851 (162 Kb PDF).
          o pointer_cast and pointer_to_other utilities to allow
            pointer-independent code, from Ion Gaztanaga.
    * String Algorithm Library:
          o lexicographical_compare
          o join
          o New comparison predicates is_less, is_not_greater.
          o Negative indexes support (like Perl) in various algorihtms
            (*_head/tail, *_nth).
    * Wave Library:
          o Wave now correctly recognizes pp-number tokens as mandated by the
            C++ Standard, which are converted to C++ tokens right before they are
            returned from the library.
          o Several new preprocessing hooks have been added. For a complete
            description please refer to the related documentation page:
            The Context Policy.
          o Shared library (dll) support has been added for the generated Wave
            libraries.
          o The overall error handling has been improved. It is now possible to
            recover and continue after an error or a warning was issued.
          o Support for optional comment and/or full whitespace preservation
            in the generated output stream has been added.
          o The Wave library now performs automatic include guard detection to
            avoid accessing header files more than once, if appropriate.
          o Full interactive mode has been added to the Wave tool. Now the Wave
            tool can be used just like Python or Perl for instance to
            interactively try out your BOOST_PP macros. Additionally it is now
            possible to load and save the current state of an interactive
            session (macro tables et.al.).
          o The overall performance has been improved by upto 40-60%, depending
            on the concrete files to process.
          o Support for new pragmas has been added allowing to control certain
            library features from inside the preprocessed sources (partial
            output redirection, control of generated whitespace and #line
            directives).
          o Optional support for #pragma message "..." has been added.
          o This version also includes a number of bug fixes and usage
            improvements. For a complete list of changes, see the libraries
            change log.

Update Boost to 1.33.0:

New Libraries

   * Iostreams Library: Framework for defining streams, stream
     buffers and i/o filters, from Jonathan Turkanis.
   * Functional/Hash Library: A TR1 hash function object that can be
     extended to hash user defined types, from Daniel James.
   * Parameter Library: Write functions that accept arguments by
     name: especially useful when a function has more than one
     argument with a useful default value, since named arguments can
     be passed in any order.
   * Pointer Container Library: Containers for storing heap-allocated
     polymorphic objects to ease OO-programming, from Thorsten Ottosen.
   * Wave: Standards conformant implementation of the mandated
     C99/C++ preprocessor functionality packed behind an easy to use
     iterator interface, from Hartmut Kaiser.

Updated Libraries

   * Assignment Library: Support for Pointer Container Library and
     new efficient functions ref_list_of() and cref_list_of() for
     generating anonymous ranges.
   * Bind Library: Bind expressions now support comparisons and
     negation. Example: bind(&X::name, _1) < bind(&X::name, _2).
   * Date-Time Library:
         o Added local time and time zone classes.
         o Added format-based Input/Output facets.
         o For a complete list of changes, see the library change history.
   * Graph Library: Introduced several new algorithms and improved
     existing algorithms:
         o Experimental Python bindings, from Doug Gregor and Indiana
           University.
         o floyd_warshall_all_pairs_shortest_paths, from Lauren Foutz
           and Scott Hill.
         o astar_search, from Kristopher Beevers and Jufeng Peng.
         o fruchterman_reingold_force_directed_layout, from Doug
           Gregor and Indiana University.
         o biconnected_components and articulation_points, from
           Jeremy Siek, Janusz Piwowarski, and Doug Gregor.
         o sequential_vertex_coloring has been updated, tested, and
           documented.
         o gursoy_atun_layout, from Jeremiah Willcock and Doug Gregor
           of Indiana University.
         o king_ordering, from D. Kevin McGrath of Indiana University.

           breadth_first_search and now supports graphs with multiple
           components.
         o dijkstra_shortest_paths now uses a relaxed heap as
           its priority queue, improving its complexity to O(V log V) and
           improving real-world performance for larger graphs.
         o read_graphviz now has a new, Spirit-based parser that
           works for all graph types and supports arbitrary
           properties on the graph, from Ron Garcia. The old,
           Bison-based GraphViz reader has been deprecated and will
           be removed in a future Boost release. write_graphviz also
           supports dynamic properties.
         o subgraph: get_property now refers to the subgraph
           property, not the root graph's property.
         o See the history for additional changes and bug fixes.
   * Multi-index Containers Library:
         o New hashed indices.
         o Added serialization support.

         o Removed support for "implicit" (optional) values.
         o New customization method
           'command_line_parser::extra_style_parser'. Unlike
           'additional_parser', allows the user to parse several
           tokens and return a vector of options, not just a single
           option.
         o Work with disabled exceptions.
   * Property Map Library: Introduced the dynamic properties class,
     which provides dynamically-typed access to a set of property maps.
   * Random Number Library: improved initialization for
     mersenne_twister, algorithm by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji
     Nishimura, implemented for Boost by Jens Maurer.
     Note: All test vectors for mersenne_twisters constructed or
     seeded without parameters or with a single unsigned int parameter
     become invalid.
   * Range Library: Minor addition of convenience functions to
     iterator range like front(), back() and operator[]().
   * Regex Library:
         o Rewritten front end parser now supports (?imsx-imsx)
           constructs, plus lookbehind assertions and conditional
           expressions.
         o Thin wrapper classes improve integration with MFC/ATL code.
         o Full (optional) Unicode support via the ICU library.
     Refer to the regex history page for more information on these
     and other small changes.

     Maerten. Huge improvements to signal invocation performance from
     Robert Zeh.

This update has been tested on NetBSD 2.0.2, 3.0_BETA and current.
   2005-02-26 23:48:35 by Julio M. Merino Vidal | Files touched by this commit (28) | Package updated
Log message:
Complete rework of the Boost packages:

- Drop devel/boost and devel/boost-thread.
- Add devel/boost-docs which includes all the documentation related to Boost
  (previously included in devel/boost).
- Add devel/boost-build which includes bjam, the Boost.Build framework.
- Add devel/boost-headers which includes all the header files needed at build
  time by programs using Boost (previously included in devel/boost).
- Add devel/boost-libs which includes all the binary libraries needed at build
  and run time by programs using Boost (previously included in devel/boost and
  devel/thread).  All of them are multithreaded, to make things easier.
- devel/boost-python includes the Boost Python library (as it did before), but
  now works, given that everything is threaded again.
- Drop our thread_user.hpp customization.  Avoids some build failures that
  appeared when the previous boost-thread package was not installed.
- Use static PLISTs.
- Install unversioned files.  Makes things *a lot* easier when building stuff
  outside pkgsrc.
- Add meta-pkgs/boost, a meta package that depends on all of the above.

Thanks go to jlam@ and tv@ for their comments.

While here, update to 1.32.0:

New Toolset Names

The names of some the Boost.Build toolsets have been changed to remove the \ 
"."
(dot) character and to fix some other naming inconsistencies. For example,
vc7.1 toolset was renamed to become vc-7_1. Please refer to the Supported
Toolsets section of the installation guide for the complete list of the current
toolset names. This change was made as a part of the effort to make the Boost
distribution compatible with ISO 9660 level 2 requirements.

New Libraries

    * Assignment Library: Filling containers with constant or generated data
      has never been easier, from Thorsten Ottosen.
    * Minmax Library: Standard library extensions for simultaneous min/max and
      min/max element computations, from Hervé Brönnimann.
    * Multi-index Containers Library: Containers with multiple STL-compatible
      access interfaces, from Joaquín M López Muñoz.
    * Numeric Conversion Library: Optimized policy-based numeric conversions,
      from Fernando Cacciola.
    * Program Options Library: Access to configuration data given on command
      line, in config files and other sources, from Vladimir Prus.
    * Range Library: A new infrastructure for generic algorithms that builds
      on top of the new iterator concepts, from Thorsten Ottosen.
    * Serialization Library: Serialization/de-serialization of arbitrary C++
      data structures to various formats including text, binary, and xml, from
      Robert Ramey.
    * String Algorithms Library: Collection of string related algorithms for
      case conversion, trimming, find/replace operations and more, from Pavol
      Droba.
    * Tribool: 3-state boolean type library, from Doug Gregor.

Updated Libraries

    * Compose: This deprecated library has been removed.
    * Graph:
          o Added bundled properties to the adjacency_list and adjacency_matrix
            class templates, greatly simplifying the introduction of internal
            vertex and edge properties.
          o The LEDA graph adaptors have been ported to LEDA 4.5.
          o Added algorithms for betweenness centrality and betweenness
            centrality clustering.
          o Added circle layout and undirected spring layout algorithms.
    * MPL Library:
          o Updated to use the Boost Software License.
          o New documentation, including a complete reference manual.
          o Major interface changes and improvements, many of which are not
            backward compatible. Please refer to the 1.32 changelog for the
            detailed information about upgrading to the new version.
    * Python Library:
          o Updated to use the Boost Software License.
          o A new, better method of wrapping classes with virtual functions
            has been implemented.
          o Support for the new Python Bool type, thanks to Daniel Holth.
          o Support for upcoming GCC symbol export control features have been
            folded in, thanks to Niall Douglas.
          o Improved support for std::auto_ptr-like types.
          o Components used by other libraries have been moved out of
            python/detail and into boost/detail to improve dependency
            relationships.
          o Miscellaneous bug fixes and compiler workarounds.
    * Signals Library: Introduced deterministic slot ordering, permitting
      slots to be connected at the beginning or end of slot groups or the slot
      list itself. Combiners may safely have state and are accessible from the
      signal.
    * Utility: class template result_of added.
    * Test Library:
          o namespace names gets shorten; old one still supported till next
            release
          o added proper encoding of XML PCDATA
          o support for wide string comparison implemented
      For complete list of changes see Test Library release notes.
