Hi there

oops... I think I know what's going on: it is probably due to a rule I 
added in the Makefile specific for .hpp files that are generated using 
doublecpp (http://doublecpp.sourceforge.net) and those rules, if that 
tool is not found, simply touches the corresponding file...
I hadn't considered that also boost header files use .hpp!
Of course I have that tool on my computer (and I install it myself on my 
home), and so I never experienced this problem myself...
let me fix it, and hopefully I can release a fixed version.

thanks for the feedback
        Lorenzo
