 That makes a lot of sense (at least to me), of course. But, as Volodya
suggests, there is no guarantee that "upstream Boost" keeps (ABI)
compatibility from a given version to another. Now, as apparently "upstream
Boost" will not make any release with a sub-minor version not equal to 0, it
should be safe to assume that "1.41" == "1.41.0", and therefore that "1.41"
be compatible with "1.41.x" (since x=0).
