Component:  Building Boost        |     Version:  Boost 1.35.0              
 Severity:  Problem               |    Keywords:  darwin macos library dylib
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 Because of the way that dynamic linking works on MacOS, to be able to
 redistribute dynamic libraries it is necessary to include the path to the
 library in the executable.

 Attached is a patch (from the MacPorts people) to make relocation much,
 much easier using MacOS's 'install_name_tool'.
