I've checked in these patches:

        http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/49006
        http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/49008

which eliminates the warning from Boost.Graph if Boost.Graph
is not been built. Please let me know if this seem to work
for you. John, do you think you can try this trick for 
Boost.Regex? I'll probably handle MPI some day soon.
