Any comments for this PR?

I am waiting its merging for sending of PRs with updates of other packages.

Looks good to me, there's a couple other tidy ups (llvm, qtifw) that I'll do shortly.

Thanks!

I am using boost 1.67.0 in my fork now and have used version 1.65.0 before. Sorry for not tested boost from master branch.

The diff is quite small in fact.

[tonytheodore]

Boost is an ongoing issue #2043. Any given version can be made to work, but not for dependent packages and all variants.

[tehnick]

Yep, I am aware of it. Almost each update of major version of boost requires an enormous amount of time for updating of all affected packages. That's why I have not tried to push such changes to upstream.
