Mistake. The only way to build Boost.Python is to use bjam. The other way is to
get binaries from http://www.boost-consulting.com/download.html

You'd better rebuild it with bjam or just download the binaries

You are free to use whatever you want after you built it.

If you don't use them than no, you don't need them.

You need to rebuild Boost.Python. The code looks correct.
