New packages: boost-1.33.0-1 and boost-devel-1.33.0-1


I have packaged Boost 1.33.0 into:

- boost-1.33.0-1 - contains docs,
- boost-devel-1.33.0-1 - contains headers and static libraries.


Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.


The emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use.

One goal is to establish 'existing practice' and provide reference implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the C++ Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) as a step toward becoming part of a
future C++ Standard. More Boost libraries are proposed for the upcoming TR2.



Notes:
1. Only static libraries for now. See [1].
2. Without Boost.Test because it does not build at all for me, static or dynamic.
