This is OK.  We don't use Boost.Python.  It's just reporting that it
didn't build that optional part of the library.

As a side note, I was unable to compile boost 1.32 under OS/X on a
machine with 768M of RAM.  I gave up after a couple of hours.  The
first phase of g++ grew to 2.7 GB while compiling some XML
serializer or some such.    Boost 1.31 compiled OK, and took something
on the order of 10 - 20 minutes.  Haven't tried compiling 1.32 under
x86 GNU/Linux.
