  What does 'nm --demangle /usr/lib/libboost_thread.a | grep "T "' show
? On my FC5 machine, this appears to be Boost 1.33.1.

  Since the library name is highly variable, (maybe someday it'll be
consistent) I wonder if this should be the *full name* to the library,
and not just the directory without a test at all. It'd then also be
possible to strip off the basename to use for LIBS.
