If Boost 1.57 on Linux isn't really feasible (I had to compile it for instance), then there isn't that much options. It's either patch Boost and ask people to compile that or reimplement in OpenVDB (to be clean) the stuffs in boost that cause problem (should resolve to copy-paste + replace/remove typeid thingy). The later case means we'll likely have to maintain our own set of patches for VDB for until newer boost is in official Linux repos as I hardly see such a change being accepted upstream (as it's already in newer Boost or whatever). Still worth a try though. In the end, that depends on people's motivation.
