This doesn't ensure any portability it just keeps it building on the current Debian testing/unstable without blowing up the .diff.gz with the whole autoreconf process. This should be solved properly with something like your proposed patch ASAP. So yes from my perspective it can wait but people with Debian testing/unstable or current *buntu installations using the recent boost packages will fail to build from your source release when they try to use external boost. I'd bet only a minority will try it anyway so it's not that important after all. I don't know what other distributions currently do with relation to the boost changes. At least Fedora seems to provide the single threaded version with the old naming and the multi threaded version in the same package. Cheers, Sven -- forevermore
