I tried to build them all, but only a few packages built successfully 
(those).  Most packages probably just need boost:lib added to their 
inputs (I already fixed a few in my local tree), but sometimes the 
build fails for other reasons, and verifying them all takes time (the 
list includes things like vigra and libreoffice).

I should have some time in the holiday period, but help is welcome :)

The updated list and a few patches are on my other computer, I'll 
post them when I get home.
