I asked a few months ago about this issue but there didn't seem to be
a solution back then. So I'm asking again, why am I seeing garbage
like:

WARNING: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration
         failed.  See http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html
         for configuration instructions or pass --without-python to
         suppress this message and silently skip all Boost.Python targets
warning: Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
note: Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
note: this is a strictly optional feature.

when I am NOT building Boost?

Besides being annoying, these messages are incorrect. For example, the
warning: Building Boost.Regex... assumes that I'm building Boost.Regex
and I am definitely not building it.
