Since not all boost users are interested to use the mpi stuff, I propose to create a "boost-openmpi" package for this. I see 2 possibilities :

(1) In other distributions (eg Debian/Ubunt), this is done in a split boost package. If we do this, we need to move openmpi in [extra].

(2) We could create the boost-openmpi in a separate PKGBUILD and upload the new pkg to [community].

The first choice (1) is probably more clean as there will be a lot of duplication in PKGBUILD for (2).

After discussion on #archlinux-dev, another possibility (more in the Arch way) would be to add openmpi in optdepends for boost-libs.

@Stéphane i just pushed boost 1.46 to staging. when you have time, you can move openmpi to extra
