If this is the problem Paulianna is having, then I would say two better
solutions would be adding '-I/usr/include/boost-1_33_1' to CFLAGS or
creating a symbolic link from '/usr/include/boost' to
'/usr/include/boost-1_33_1'.  But I agree that your solution would
indeed work, though it would be less maintainable and would take up
more disk space.
