Title: Update brew instructions to build Boost from HEAD

Previously, when trying to build master or v0.9.0, compilation on OS X would
fail [1]. This commit resolves these errors by building Boost from source.
Building from HEAD removes the guarantee of a repeatable build, but this
appears to be a necessity until the next version of Boost is released.

At the time of this writing, the current version of Boost is 1.55.0 [2].
Presumably, the next release will include the changes now on HEAD, and once
that new version has been made available in Homebrew [3], this commit should
be reverted.
