There are two versions of boost-1.36.0 out there, some of sourceforge's 
mirrors are still lagging behind after the boost devs silently replaced the 
tarball. Both versions are fine, though the newer (more common) one will 
include more documentation. The md5sum in the .info is still for the older 
one. For the newer one it would be:
328bfec66c312150e4c2a78dcecb504b

again, both tarballs will work fine.
