Excellent!  Thanks for doing that.

Also, just how we support boost and boost-libs in [extra], POCO[1] is
currently in AUR[2] and should probably be in [community] as it's a fairly
popular library for developers doing high level network things.  It already
has 90 votes.  (It actually has more than 90 votes, since its votes are
diffused amongst poco, poco-dev, and poco-git in AUR, each with varying
quality of packaging.  Currently, poco and poco-dev are basically the same.)

POCO is a general-purpose C++ framework that does networking, HTTP, SMTP,
URI decoding, FTP, websockets, database abstraction (w/session pooling &
light ORM), XML parsing/generation, compression, regexes, plugins, string
manipulation, OpenSSL wrapping, logging, and a bunch of other things.  It's
used by a lot of projects,

Thoughts?
