it can be challenging. since my initial goal was unbreaking build with
newer boost and so far i failed at that, here's the wip update to
3.10.11.0, that builds with the in-tree boost 1.84 we have.

- a separate port for volk, which was split off gnuradio
- improvements needed for:
  - icons/desktop file install
  - manpath (probably just a matter of setting GR_MAN_DIR)
  - rechecking if all run depends are needed
  - checking the API for each lib and bumping SHARED_LIBS (i'll probably
    go the lazy way and bump'em'all)

not sending it as a cvs diff since most of the patches have to be
removed, but sending it as a tarball so the wip patches for boost are in
the open... and since i have no idea how to use that zero runtime
testing done. Welcoming tests from actual users, suspects in cc :)
