Title: Extract Boost version from source header

BOOST_VERSION now specifies where to download the source (e.g. the source tarball download link), and once it is downloaded and extracted, the boost.sh script extracts the actual library version from /boost/version.hpp. The purpose of this feature is to support the subsequent addition of a feature to optionally retrieve the Boost source code from the Boost Subversion repo by specifying either a repo revision number or the "HEAD" special value. These specifiers have no information about the library version, so in these cases the actual library version *must* be extracted from the Boost library source code.
