My earlier patch (r369) skips the tests on -h. But only if you use a 
recent scons snapshot, because this was introduced post 0.97. When 0.98 
comes out, we'll require that. (That will also allow us to use Glob() to 
auto-build things like IMP.h in a reliable manner.)

r374 should pick up some common alternate locations for boost, e.g. with 
fink or DarwinPorts on the Mac.
