-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 When I tried to install py26-mapnik it failed, because it could not be
 linked against -lboost_python_mt, even though boost is a dependency and
 therefore already installed.

 The solution was to build boost with +python26. IIRC it is impossible to
 specify variants in the depencencies. Would it be possible to solve this
 problem another way, like maybe warning the user to build boost with the
 appropriate +pythonxy variant if building of mapnik fails?
