boost.m4 upstream fixed this differently:

https://github.com/tsuna/boost.m4/commit/32553aaf4d5090da19aa0ec33b9369
82c685009f

the test comes into flamerobin from boost.m4 -> aclocal.m4 -> configure
. I've filed a bug on upstream flamerobin to update to latest boost.m4:

https://sourceforge.net/p/flamerobin/bugs/256/

I was gonna change the fix in our flamerobin to 'pull in the latest
boost.m4 and regenerate the build scripts', but the snapshot we have is
so ancient that doesn't work very well, so I'll stick with more or less
the current patch (only make it apply properly).
