Description (last modified by michaelld (Michael Dickens))

Boost 1.73.0 was released on 20200426.

Here are my comments from Boost 1.72.0, which I'll do testing on shortly to verify: 

My initial testing shows 2 things:

1. the new API ''is'' compatible with every port I have installed that requires Boost --26 ports, out of the roughly 268 ports that `port echo depends:boost` returns -- so about 10%, which for my current setup -- macOS 10.14.6 18G1012 / Xcode 11.2.1 11B500 -- all build cleanly & I saw no deprecation warnings in the build logs I reviewed (about 10 of those ports)!
2. The new ABI ''is not'' compatible with the prior one. Hence, we have to actually rev-bump ports to link against the new ABI.

I'm going to create a PR for this update & post it here: first for Boost itself then rev-bumps for the dependent ports that I've tested. I'd encourage others to add to it.
