+# This is the list of libraries that Boost can build. They may not all be
+# exposed in the Buildroot menuconfig; only add them as the need arises.
+# How to maintain that list (the last step takes a bit of time):
+#  - make boost-direclean
+#  - make boost-configure
+# Buildrrot will then report any disrepancy: either libraries in this list
+# but no longer present in the newer Boost version, or libraries missing in
+# this list but present in that nwewer version.
