Thanks for that, I didn't know that boost could be built without cmake.
I think when I first installed boost I was already installing cmake as
it was needed by cdrkit so I didn't look for a way of avoiding cmake. I
don't install cdrkit now (libisoburn FTW!) so boost is (was) the only
thing still using it. I'm glad to be rid of cmake.

Thanks for that! Adding -j4 to the bjam options above to speeds things
up a bit.
Thanks again,
