Yes, I agree. But until now we (I) have tried to keep the in-dist copy of boost as small as possible. I think we should continue with that. If you make your patch work with --without-included-boost, then I can handle the rest of making --with-included-boost work. I am also planning to change the default to be --without-included-boost, but we probably need some more autoconf checks then. (I think I have seen a autoconf check for boost floating around on the boost devel list) -- Lgb
