Looks like msys2 folks decided to use boost's cmake support to build
boost starting with 1.70 instead of the old boost build system.  I
thought this was still experimental but I could be wrong.  None the
less, boost 1.70 is broken on msys2 so I guess I will have to downgrade
and pin boost yet again :(  For everyone out there using msys2, do not
upgrade to boost 1.70.  If you did, downgrade boost to 1.69 and edit
your pacman.conf file to prevent boost from upgrading.
