Re: [Boost-users] install_name incorrect for dylibs on OS X 10.4

First, because during linking, the linker included with 10.4 doesn't make
use of the -L path for finding indirectly referenced dylibs like
libboost_system-1_35.dylib is in the example I gave... requiring the use of
the -dylib_file option, something pretty non-standard.

Second, because at run time, this requires setting the DYLIB_PATH, which is
discouraged by apple.
