To me, it looks like dynamic_pointer_cast is old enough to be usable for
us. At least according to their documentation, it is included since 1.34:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_34_0/libs/smart_ptr/pointer_cast.html

The oldest installed boost I had lying around was 1.46. And monotone
compiled just fine there. Having all instance of shared_dynamic_cast
replaced with dynamic_pointer_cast. And I can confirm it works with
boost 1.53, so I committed this change in dfe4b51c...

If somebody has an ancient boost ready to test against, please try that
revision. We can still add a check against BOOST_VERSION.
