I was about to ask "where do you read something about 2005 there?" ...
'til I noticed obo just changed the 2005 into 2008 an hour ago :)

Indeed I think you won't have much fun with 2005 in other places, and
requiring 2008 is reasonable.

If you really want to upgrade this, please do not again introduce a
platform dependency (or even compiler version dependency). Boost
versions were a mess before we went to 1.39, please let's keep the clean
"one version for all" state.

Ciao
