It seems ugly to duplicate the Boost headers in a separate package. We
already have a “boost” package, which provides the headers for this
version of Boost. Would it be possible to use the existing “boost”
package in place of “r-bh”?
If not: please use two spaces in the description. I think the first two
sentences can be removed as they relate to the Boost library. Also,
please use lower case for the synopsis.
