	I am quite confident that libboost_signals is installed correctly.
At least, the configure script says so. Personally, I suspect that the
signals library wants something from another boost library. In fact, I
couldn't get past the configure phase until I installed libboost_thread
(which was not mentioned earlier). Pull in this package, which needs this
other package, and so it goes until you have a library that is not
particularly well-suited for an embedded application ebecause it has too
much extra baggage.
