I would like to modify the configure script to mention getting started, so that user knows where to look for information, but unfortunately, the current URL is a bit long:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html

It is 77 characters, so it does not leave any space for any other text.

Thanks, Volodya

What happens after 77 characters, do characters start falling off the edge of the screen?

Yes. Not necessary at this specific character, or at 81th character, but at approximately this column.

Hasn't that theory been disproved yet?

No, not really. Split-emacs-window-on-widescreen-monitor-horizontally-yours, Volodya
