... and even so we fail to ensure that system headers/libs are not used if one configures without them. E.g., as soon as one installs system boost (or mdds, or glm, or...), it will be used no matter what value SYSTEM_BOOST contains. Simply because -I/usr/include is in include path before -I$W/UnpackedTarball/boost. But we do not seem to care overly about this...
