In any case, all I need is libboost_python.dylib, and it is easy enough to tell it to build just that library (so currently I am doing it within the other package and hiding it). I'd be happy to make a minimal libboost_python package if someone would be willing to fix all of the idiot-mistakes I will likely introduce.
