'configure' does not recognise '--without-python'
During Boost build, a line pops up saying "to avoid seeing this message again, use option --without-python". However, if you specify this as a "./configure" option, configure halts saying --without-python is unrecognised. I can live without it/work around it, but it should presumably be fixed ...

Downloaded file was boost_1_33_1.tar.gz, no separate Boost.build version. (Workaround - once I had 'configure'd, I edited the generated Makefile to say BJAM_CONFIG=--without-python ... is that also an env var ?) Thanks, Mike

(version boost_1_33_1) It would be nice for 'configure' to allow a bit of control over which library variants were built as well. Currently, 24 variants are built for each library specified, with no --option to cut this down to a more sensible level. Mike

I think you can get this setting by saying --without-libraries=python - just from a reading of the configure file. Mike
