Building Langbinding

    I've got a learning curve on Boost::Build. Before I edit any
    files, I'd like to ask a few, hopefully simple questions.

    The build directory appears to be ...

    langbinding/boost/libs/python/build

    There is a Jamfile.v2 there that I'm going to start with, to
    build Langbinding on OS X. The relative paths indicate that a
    `touch project-root.jam` should be run in the build directory.

        (Tried that.
        
            Hacked the Jamfile.v2 to point to the OS X installed
            Python.
            
            It doesn't find the langbinding headers which are three
            directories up, but it seems to find the source.
            
            At least I can see what it wants to do, and I can try
            building an XCode project from that to get started.)
    
    I'd like to build a debugging Python and run some of the
    Langbinding tests in XCode. The Jamfile.v2 seems to want a
    Python 2.2 , and I'm going to build that version of Python
    unless someone tells me I should use 2.3 or 2.4.

    From what I can tell, Python is the only implementation. There
    does not appear to be any Lua binding code.

    Questions...

        1) What version of Python should I build against?
        2) Is there a Lua implementation?
