Heh.

Sure, I agree that a BRLCAD_BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR variable makes sense. It's not used in very many places currently, so it was handled on a fairly ad-hoc basis in the initial build setup. > In any event, any objection to me upgrading the trunk to use the > necessary parts of Boost 1.54.0? None at all, that's a good thing - just make libpc and obj-g build (The OSL support is off by default, which seems to be our only other current use of it - if you feel like making that work too that'd be great, but to the best of my knowledge it's been a while since that code was exercised.) It's a shame Boost is so huge - by far the easier thing to do would be to grab the CMake-ified version and shove it in src/other, but that would almost double the size of our tree. What we end up doing instead is using bcp: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/tools/bcp/doc/html/index.html I don't remember if we ended up using any of the bits that need to be compiled, or if we're still header-only.
