This indeed might be an obstacle.. hopefully things changed since I last
tried years ago, getting that Jam build stuff to run on all major
platforms was horrible back then, and didn't ...

However, having the boost math lib would be of great benefit for Calc,
so I strongly vote for possibly the latest version of boost that's
available, but at least 1.35
