[Rivet] PATCH: Don't re-download boost tarball if re-running the bootstrap script

[David Bjergaard]

Hi Andy,

If you're interested... there's a "bug" in BOOST 1.55.0 that causes a
bunch of warnings to be printed in gcc 4.8. I know this is upstream, and
it will be fixed in the next BOOST release, but in the meantime the
rivet-buildplugin script is very loud.  

I've got a patch that suppresses all of the warnings:
https://github.com/dbjergaard/rivet-charmonium/blob/master/boost_1_55.patch

I've attached a patch file that may work for the bootstrap, though I
think I may have structured the patch for:
INSTALL_DIR=~/rivet/local
BUILD_DIR=~/rivet

If you want, I can rework it to patch before the headers get installed. 

    Dave
