Problem with ax_boost_unit_test_framework.m4

Binary package hint: autoconf-archive

Hi,

On jaunty, with the packages libboost-test1.34.1 and libboost-test-dev installed, ax_boost_unit_test_framework.m4 will find the gcc41 version of the library (a symbolic link to the gcc42). This causes linking to fail as the gcc41 version doesn't have a .so file (only .so.1.34.1)

I suppose this problem can appear for other boost libraries as well.

Here's a patch that solves this on Jaunty, although I'm not sure if it will work on other platforms.
