Comment:

 I'm sorry but this patch is really nasty, I just upgraded my ports and
 updated them and now boost builds for '''AGES (40 min)''' because of "By
 default, a 'complete' build of boost is requested (via 'patch-build-type-
 Jamroot')" and boost installation take '''750MB''' on the disk!

 If we really need 'complete' Boost please move it to some 'complete'
 variant ASAP. Boost is dependency for many packages, but they don't need
 whole set of complete boost build in order to run, but just single dynamic
 MT. All other MacPorts libraries such as glibc2 or gtk2 are just single
 build type (dynamic MT).

 I have quite new MBP with big disk, but what about old MacBook PPC
 users... it will take days to compile their boost now and for sure 750MB
 for single MacPorts package will be too much.
