 I don't know whether this is the fault of mkvtoolnix or boost, but I
 suspect the latter.

 When I was upgrading ports, mkvtoolnix failed to configure with the
 following error:
 {{{
 ...
 checking for magic_open in -lmagic... no
 checking for boostlib >= 1.32.0... yes
 checking whether the Boost::Regex library is available... yes
 checking for main in -lboost_regex-mt... no
 checking for main in -lboost_regex-boost_regex-mt... no
 configure: error: Could not link against boost_regex-boost_regex-mt !
 }}}

 I saw that i had libboost_regex-xgcc40-mt-boost_regex-mt in
 /opt/local/lib, but not libboost_regex-mt-boost_regex-mt (minus the
 xgcc40).  I created a symlink, and now mkvtools builds just fine.

 Should boost be creating a symlink or should mkvtoolnix have a smarter
 configure?
