Well, the Boot.Build setup broke due to modularization. The other fault seems 
to be much older, so this should not be deemed release critical. It should 
certainly be fixed for 1.56.1 / 1.57.0 though.

Would you prepare a pull request? I doubt that Boost.Python is actively 
maintained, so this might be an issue for the maintenance team. And it might 
be wise to add the example to the regression tests...

Yours,

Jürgen
