You don't need to remove the old one, just set things to use the new 
one. I have no problem with this.

I think I added the recipe. I use it on the beagle, which uses gcc 4.3, 
which may have had some trouble with parts of boost. I'm OK with moving 
to a newer boost, but there are some non-backward compatible changes in 
boost that we will need to watch out for. I needed only a couple pieces 
from boost 1.36, so I built the ones I needed and set the recipe to 
DEFAULT_PREFERENCE="-1".
