I don't know enough (well anything really!) about MacOS targets, and what is
and is not correct for them, searching the archives it appears that I added
this check after a user request:
http://listarchives.boost.org/MailArchives/boost-users/msg02664.php. Obviously we
need a better way of doing things, so any suggestions welcome...
Thanks,
John.
