Hey Scott,

Right, I discussed that with the dx team about one month ago, and it 
should be an easy transition for nux/unity/compiz to go on. The only 
reason I haven't completed the transition yet is because we arealreday 
completing multiple heavy moving grounds right now on those projects and 
I don't want to add noise to this.

Be ensure that the transition will be completed before beta freeze (I 
still have a complex transition for unity just before feature freeze and 
then, I'm confident to be able to clearly test and do an upload just for 
moving from boost 1.42 to 1.46. I prefer that to be separated to avoid 
mixing possible issues).

Cheers,
Didier
