When running bjam test, in libs/python/example I'd get a lot of errors about
templates and vars not define.  Another thing I noticed, when installing
boost with 

 bjam "-sGXX=g++" "-sTOOLS=gcc" "--prefix=/home/boost_1_31_0" install

it would say, "Skipping Boost.Python library build due to missing or
incorrect configuration couldn't find Python.h in "/include/python"

When I point the PYTHON_ROOT and PYTHON_VERSION to the correct path, I'd get
a lot of errors when compiling.  Is there a step I'm missing here?
