"changed how this works" relates possibly to two out of sync branches.

Robert obviously tries to use trunk (which I conclude from presence of 
the message "Graph library does not contain optional GraphML reader." 
which was not present in RC_1_34_0.

Since building on trunk was so broken, that I was not even able to start 
regression building for mingw/cygwin I tried to help Volodya and Rene 
with merging the good parts from RC_1_34_0 over to trunk.

There still might be some holes to fill.

BOOST_ROOT/libs/python/build/Jamfile.v2

(both in RC_1_34_0 and trunk)

Please let me take the opportunity to reiterate my question, since this 
problem seems to be related:

Should trunk be stabilized? I.e. merge the good parts over from 
RC_1_34_0 to trunk?

Or should we go the other way round? Merge the new parts from trunk to 
RC_1_34_0?

If there is no clear answer on this we risk destabilizing trunk ( or 
RC?) even more.
