I will apply this patch to 1.4.5svn if some other developer tells me
it is OK.

This is exactly why we bundle boost with LyX :)
No, such bundling is wrong... Ensuring compatibility with two (or even
three) most recent versions of Boost would, probably, be still easier
for you, and would do The Right Thing (TM), instead of inflating your
own tarball and causing porters on various platforms extra problems.
You (LyX) are pretty good, actually. Bundling boost is a minor offense.
The OpenOffice folks, for example, would've bundled the entire Qt4 with
their distribution. Just in case...
