Comment(by adfernandes@…):

 It turns out that you ''don't'' have to uninstall `boost-jam`. The reason
 I originally added the conflict is because, well... boost wouldn't' build,
 and I couldn't figure out why. Lots of people online were getting the same
 error. Many had asked the boost developers. The reply was always the same:
 "Just use bootstrap.sh". A technically correct, but utterly useless
 answer.

 It turns out that boost will now only build with it's custom-internal bjam
 tool. Thankfully, if you execute that tool with an absolute path, it
 ignores any other bjam on the path; but I didn't know that when trying to
 fix the port.

 The boost coders ''really'' know their c++ and write fantastic code.
 However, I wish that they'd realize that their packaging build tool is
 really, really, really horrible, nonstandard, and buggy.
