You'd be better switching over to Boost Build V2 as V1 is being phased
out. In V2, this would be:

   exe mfront
     :
       ./driver/driver.cpp ./main.cpp ./parser/generator.cpp 
       $(BOOST_ROOT)//filesystem
       $(BOOST_ROOT)//wave
     ;

This might work for V1: i.e. replacing <lib>wave with either
<lib>boost//wave or <lib>$(BOOST_ROOT)//wave, but I don't
know enough about V1 to confirm that this is correct.

HTH,
