I haven't tried building with any newer snapshots. I'll be moving -- as 
rapidly as I have time to do so -- to boost 1.31.0 once it shows up in 
common distros, now that it's "out the door". boost tends to be pretty 
serious about it when they do a release. there's a lot of nice new stuff 
(and bugfixes) since 1.30.x.

unfortunately I've just had a hardware fault on my debian build machine, 
and I expect to see 1.31.0 show up in debian first. rotten timing!
