OpenOffice and boost

[Pedro Giffuni]

Hello;

Maho-san has updated openoffice-devel to the last version that used 
stlport internally. This is a great advance for the upstream OpenOffice 
as it means that it will start using modern STL functionality by default.

In general OpenOffice now uses TR1 functionality from Boost to replace 
what libstdc++ may not have.  Unfortunately this will not work in 
FreeBSD 9.x due to a bug in boost.

In order to update OpenOffice further it is necessary (but probably not 
sufficient) to either update boost to version 1.55 (best) or apply 
ports/181044.

I know there have been complains about the maintenance (or lack of it) 
in the openoffice ports but there are limits on to what Maho and I can 
do. It would also be great if someone works on adding staging to the 
OpenOffice ports.

Best regards,

Pedro.
