[CM] Grace and Fomus on F 14

[Bill Sack]

i did try the new beta - everything seems to work great except fomus.
i've done a bit more googling and discovered that this is a
longstanding (since 12/10) unresolved problem with fomus and f14 -
there's a message on the planetccrma list about it that i somehow
overlooked when it was current.

the issue has nothing to do with Grace or cm at all - i get the same
error message trying to run one of the fomus examples in the
documentation (i.e.: outside of cm).

i still suspect that it has something to do with the version of boost
but i don't have the patience to downgrade and recompile right now.
