Well, it's not absolutely needed. It should be possible to pass in the
boost dir to monotone's configure script, I just didn't see it in

Thanks, that would be helpful, although I'm not sure if it works
correctly or not as *all* of the monotone tests fail. Perhaps this
will be one of the things I could help work on during the summit.
