Thank you. It seems I missed the "Graphical Verification" step in my 
first attempt.

I did this. No effect.
Specifically I noticed the described behaviour with this file:
boost/boost/thread/detail/config.hpp
Intrestingly after having it modified it got copied to the install
tree, but still no recompilation of any dependant files took place.

Then I tried to modify both, because I suspected my include paths
beeing wrong. But again only the config.hpp got installed, still no
compilation triggered.

Any ideas where to look next?
