Yes, I did that first!

That's where the problem was.  Apparently I had libboost-thread1.50-dev and a
bunch of other ~~1.50 stuff installed, which isn't what POV-Ray is looking for.
I just let apt-get do its thing and hoped I didn't clobber my system:

  9.2 Fix libboost dev libraries

  jonathan@Odin:~$ sudo apt-get install libboost-thread1.49-dev
  jonathan@Odin:~$ sudo apt-get autoremove

  This is a before and after diff between 'dpkg -l | grep boost' results:

Now ./configure runs fine with only the COMPILED_BY parameter, and compilation
is successful:
 jonathan@Odin:~/Downloads/povray-3.7.0.RC7$ time make -j4
real    3m39.489s
user    10m22.008s
sys     0m33.412s

make check checks out too, so everything seems good now, thank you.

Nope, didn't need to use that...

.....no danger of that :)  Merci!
