Detailed change log

fost-base

Added Boost Chrono to builds on Windows for Boost 1.47 and later.
Removed the `workerqueue` as it doesn't do anything useful that a work pool doesn't already do.

fost-internet

Allow the SMTP port to be set on the SMTP client and the tests.

fost-orm

Create a backup of the old JSON database file (via a hard link) before creating the new one. For older versions of Boost (pre 1.46.0) there is still some small period of time when there is no disk file.
Added a post commit hook to the local JSON DB transaction handler which allows code to run after a transaction is successfully committed.

fost-py

Fixed an order-of-destruction problem in the in-process Python host that showed up on Ubuntu Quantal/Python 2.7.
