I've already updated the markdown file for the 64-bit boost 1.59 issue
and will commit it as soon as I get a chance.  As far as anything else
is concerned, I would rather not turn this into step by step
instructions.  I expect a developer competent enough to build kicad from
source to know how to read the documentation for their build platform
and package management tools.  I managed to figure it out without too
much difficulty.
