[Rivet] AIDA branch closed (gzip next...)

[Andy Buckley]

Hi all,

The end of an era... I have closed the 2012-06-aidarivet branch in our
hg repository!

Next step in the clean-up is to do something with the "gzip" named
branch: James, is this "production-ready" or will it be a while before
it is ready to go live?

Since it involves tying us to a Boost compiled library, which in my
experience can be hell to get working on all platforms, I would really
prefer to not enable it without an explicit switch which comes with a
Caveat Emptor warning... unless you promise that it is super-robust ;-)
 If it's not near production readiness then it would perhaps be better
to clone that branch into a separate private development repo and close
the gzip branch on the main repo: let me know what you want to do.

Andy
