Well, it's all in the pipeline so the future is a bit rosier. The boost patch won't appear till 1.37 AIUI, and the sage/python/framework won't appear till Michael Abshoff is happy with it. There are also a couple of bugs in the version of cvxopt that ships with sage. Those appear to be fixed in the latest version of cvxopt, so they are also in the pipeline (assuming that sage will upgrade to cvxopt 1.0 and/or make cxvopt optional, there doesn't seem to be a lot of point bothering with a sage-specific patch to cvxopt-0.9.) But if you want my (hacked & untested but compiling) cvxopt spkg, let me know.
