I remember,  back in the day, when I used to have to install libraries 
from earlier releases to support Word Perfect 8.  That was before Red 
Hat started up Fedora and Open Office, soon to be Libre Office, which 
was then still Star Office was really ready for prime time.  As I recall 
the process wasn't that hard.  I suppose that the boost libraries must 
be more deeply entwined.
