Boost libraries and headers not found

[jcbollinger]

While building Coot 1 on a machine that did not have Boost libraries or headers installed in the standard search paths, I found that configuring with --with-boost=/path/to/boost/headers --with-boost-libdir=/path/to/boost/libraries was not sufficient for a successful build. Some Coot components built successfully, which seems to show that I provided correct configuration options, but others did not see the boost headers and / or libraries. It looks like the needed flags variables were not inserted into the Makefile.am files in some of the places where they are needed.

This issue does not appear to be new, but it likely will not have manifested in build environments where Boost is installed in the standard search paths. It is potentially pernicious in such environments, however, for if a different Boost implementation than the default one is specified via configure arguments, such as the build-it script will do, then Coot can end up being built against a mixture of different Boost versions.

A pull request will be forthcoming soon.

Thanks (that was very useful), I can't pull (yet). I read the diffs though and made what I think are effectively the same changes.
