Boost Testing : |

I reinstalled bz2 library in /usr/local, rebuilt python and the problem
with bz2 module disappeared. I did not run regression.py, I'll do it
tomorrow, but 'import bz2' works.
Previously, the bz2 library was installed in directory which was not
part of the PATH. I'm pretty sure, it was the problem.
Thanks for the help!
