Yay!  I have a reviewed patch waiting for inclusion that so far depended
on a patched version of boost 1.58.  I’ll finally be able to add it
without also having to add a variant of the boost package.

I’ll take a look at fixing shogun.  Seems to be related to the Octave
interface; the interfaces should probably be moved to different outputs
anyway, if possible
