Please see my other mail ("Using system boost 1.54") from today. It is
desirable that AOO should build with newer system boost versions too,
but it requires probably more than just a recompile to make everything
work. Volunteers are invited to work on this interesting topic.

I'm not sure whether anyone actually built AOO with boost 1.49, 1.50,
1.51, 1.52, 1.53 or the 1.54 versions, so you're in unexplored territory.
Maybe 1.49 is close enough to 1.48 so using it could work out of the box
with AOO. But as Kay noticed 1.54 is already so different that more work
is needed for sure.

Thanks for checking: It proves that we're on the right track!

That snowball/domino effect is a real problem. And we always prefer to
work with off-the-shelf releases of external libraries if possible.
In your case I'd try to
- replace the missing boost type, but as [1] shows they are using some
magic there especially for Solaris compilers
- rebuild with system-boost 1.49
- rebuild with system-boost 1.50
[1] http://lists.boost.org/boost-commit/2012/04/40663.php
If these alternatives don't work then we really need a volunteer who
solves the build problems with the latest 1.55 version so that AOO's
internal version can be upgraded to that.
