Alternatively the monotone package could be changed to fetch its own  
copy of the boost distfile, unpack it in a temporary location, use  
that during the build and then remove everything.  This is easily  
doable, but seems like a huge hack when you can simply pkg_delete  
boost-headers after monotone is installed :-)
