I don't get that.

That works ok.

I think the real problem is that on my system with boost 1.28 (As supplied 
on the website), The instantiation of the template in SubDir does not 
inherit *any* of the settings from the template in the project root! If we 
could fix that problem first, then maybe I automatically get the -I 
../IncludeDir automatically.
