Helio / Greg,

I have included a fix in the ticket (#423), and I am willing to apply it in
trunk if no one sees a problem with it.  I'd prefer to be able to test it
in a running system if I could.

I'm afraid I don't understand your point.  The problem is related to the
boost build system which does not use autotools as far as I recall (it uses
jam).  The build is launched from Thirdparty.sh but this is not particular
to automake, etc.  Can you suggest a chance in Thirdparty.sh that will make
this work?  If so, please note it in the ticket, and I'll test it out and
commit.

It almost sounds like you are suggesting replacing the boost build system
with cmake.  Surely we aren't contemplating replacing the internal build
system for all the third party packages!

Best regards,
