Looking at pkgsrc, they have splitted the boost-pkg so you can choose
just to install the headers (which is actually what I did on IRIX alas
compilation fails due to TU-smart pointers)...

I'll go further on this;

strk suggested earlier today that we statically link the libgnash*
libraries into the binaries which I agree on (and working on modifying
the makefiles so they conform to this as we still want the plugin to be
a DSO-binary).
