I already did that, since i did a rebuild while boost-defaults was pointing to .46. You can find the results in collab-qa svn, in archive-rebuilds/2011-12-20-lsid64-amd64 If it's only 237 packages, I would prefer if you rebuilt them manually: the time taken to organize the rebuild is likely to be higher than the time it would take to just rebuild them locally.
