Hey Martin,

one last thing from me on this. Thanks for the fun and the help!

Thanks to the maintainer everything is fine with boost (for this).

(: nitpicking back: The error is raised because of the last
unsuccessfull "FIND_PACKAGE(Boost 1.49.1 COMPONENTS unit_test_framework
prg_exec_monitor)" which fails because neither 1.49.1 nor
libboost-test-dev are installed and overrides the success of the former
test (from libboost-dev package info: Version: 1.49.0.1, "This package
is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default Boost
version (currently 1.49)").

  You may need to install packages named libboost-dev and
  libboost-test-dev version 1.35 or later.

I think the topic is ready to bury :)
