I needed bigmemory from SVN anyway to build a new BH, but I only tested with
your last CRAN release -- which installed fine (again, with my
/usr/include/boost renamed and hidden).  So things look good.

We can surely talk in Chicago, but if you get a chance to 'svn up' for BH and
give it a spin I'd appreciate it.  I think a 1.51.0-1 release is pretty low risk.

| 
|     i)   I put a little bit of time the BH package and extended the package,
|          trying to address the open issues at
|            https://r-forge.r-project.org/tracker/?atid=5310&group_id=1469&
|     func=browse
|          (which, sadly, Steffen never seems to have found, but I added his
|     issue)
| 
|     ii)  Now 'foreach' (#2527) and 'math/dist.' (#2533, also needed
|     'algorithm')
|          are included.
| 
|     iii) I can now build bigmemory, RcppBDT, and ExactNumCI (the driver for #
|     2533)
|          even when 'hiding' my /usr/include/boost/ -- so package BH works
|     here!
| 
|          (Both RcppBDT and ExactNumCI, as currently on CRAN, need LinkingTo:
|     BH,
|          of course, and note that ExactNumCI has a bug in src/Makefile:
|     remove
|          BOOSTLIB which is eg unset on my system and breaks the build; I'll
|     talk
|          to them in due course.)
| 
|     iv)  Steffen's wish was added as ticket #2768 and has been addressed,
|          iostream is in as well but I didn't test mzR yet
| 
|     I think we are crouching towards a BH release 1.51.0-1 and I'd love for
|     anybody else to test a little.
