@cinghiale -- looks like the tests have failed, can you please have a look to see why?

@deanberris it looks like a timeout of the install_boost script, I don't think it is related. How can I trigger a rebuild? Are you ok with an empty commit?

The test timeout during the boost installation; any idea?

I remember this being an issue back then -- I'm not sure exactly how I resolved this, but it's a limitation of the Travis runners. So this might not be something you @cinghiale can fix. 😦

I'll defer to @glynos on whether to merge this with minimal testing. But I'm certainly fine with something that, if it works for you, is good enough to merge.

There's probably a more updated way of installing a more recent Boost installation now without having to rebuild it every time (and relying on the cache) but I've not time to have a look.

I merged it into 0.13-release, but I haven't fixed the failures on clang on Travis. I'll be away for a few days and take another look later next week.

Thanks for your contribution, @cinghiale!

I notice that this PR has not yet been merged on master.

If you want I can take care of the fixes needed to apply it on the master and then proceed with a new PR.

@cinghiale -- I think @glynos and I would prefer seeing another PR just for the master branch. Since we don't merge back changes manually to master, and since this may not apply cleanly even then.

Thanks!
