Sounds good!

| Sorry to be unclear.  The following is a README from bitSeq src/boost folder.

| "CHANGES" entry.
| 
| Subset of boost libraries, version 1.53.0. (22.3.2013)
| ------------------------------------------------------
| 
| DEPENDENCY:
| -----------
|  boost/random/gamma_distribution.hpp
|  boost/random/mersenne_twister.hpp
|  boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp
|  boost/random/uniform_01.hpp
| 
| CHANGES:
| --------
| random/uniform_01.hpp
|  -> commented out line 19:
|    #include<iostream>

That gives us the "what", but not the "why". Is it to avoid "R CMD check"
whining about use of std::cout, or printf(), or ... ?  

In which case we should probably do it too in BH!
