Description
Trying to build boost 1.52 on some non x86 archs we noticed context has MD bits of code and is missing support for archs such as Alpha, PA-RISC, and SuperH. I see that SPARC was added 3 days ago within trunk.

Great, so now I have to permanently disable this library in our port/package.

Please keep in mind that the code has to written in assembler - I've not the time and the resources (for instance buy a development host for each platform) to support all the architectures out there. You are welcome to provide an implementation for the architectures your are missing. Otherwise you can't use the lib - sorry.

I think it's not worth the difficulty to support dead architectures like Alpha and PA-RISC. Unfortunately I've no development platform on SuperH yet - maybe SuperH will be supported in the future.
