Subject: [PATCH] Scons: exclude boost headers only for system boost header
 files. 	* INSTALL.scons: document this change. 	*
 development/scons/SConstruct: check for included_boost to exclude boost 
   headers from the dependency tree.

+  * Using external boost libraries (install boost libraries and use
