/*
 boosty is a wrapper around boost so that OpenSCAD can work with old
 versions of boost found on popular versions of linux, circa early 2012.

 design
  hope that the user is compiling with boost>1.46 + filesystem v3
  if not, fall back to older deprecated functions, and rely on
  testing to find bugs. implement the minimum needed by OpenSCAD and no more.
  in a few years, this file should be deleted as unnecessary.
