A random aside: we will be switching to building against the Boost release branch very soon. Not sure if this affects you or not. Right now I'm tried boost 1.48 and boost 1.49 and it worked good.
This is one point that came up in discussion here: how will this impact Mac? Apple's libtool appears to be an entirely different beast. Or will your changes only affect Linux right now? I don't have a mac but from reading the documentation of libtool it should work otherwise it's a bug in libtool. You are right that libtool is quite of a beast but that's why I did it as an option.
Once again to make that clear what didn't went to be so clear in my first mail. Not every change we did should go back to you. I understand that a few patches are just debian specific and they should only be applied there. But the changes we want to put back upstream are cherry picked to work by appending an option to libtbx/configure.py.
