Hi Seth,

Yes, but the build is failing at compile time for code that is not in
boost 1.59 or earlier.  The boost version should have been bumped to the
version of boost that includes the missing code (I don't know which
version that is).  This way the failure will occur during configuration
so it will be obvious to developers that they need to upgrade to a newer
version of boost.
