   I switched to boost 1.32.0 and Python 2.4 with no problems.   I
least, I think I did, but did not get the warnings about
_POSIX_C_SOURCE when I compiled boost.   This makes me think that
maybe seting the environment variable PYTHON_VERSION to 2.4 didn't
actually work.   I don't know how to verify that boost really did
compile with Python 2.4 installed in /usr/local instead of Python 2.2
in /usr.
