Boost 1.35 package for buildroot

The attached package builds Boost 1.35, which is getting rather old. Boost uses a rather tricky build system for the compiled libraries (most are headers only, i.e. no problem), so updating the package to a later version may not be straight ahead.

Known issues: atomic_add32() and atomic_cas32() are set to abort if called on ARM, we have never seen them be called.
Comment 1 Thomas Petazzoni 2010-02-21 22:33:05 UTC 
Move milestone to 2010.05 since enhancements will not be handled before the release of 2010.02.
Comment 2 Thomas Petazzoni 2012-02-03 13:34:00 UTC 
A boost package, with boost 1.47.0 has been added in Buildroot and will be part of the upcoming 2012.02 stable release.
