[CM] Grace and Fomus on F 14

I just compiled fomus 0.1.15 with boost 1.44 on Ubuntu and had no
issues...  I'll have to install fc14 somewhere and try to compile it in
that environment to figure out what's going wrong.  I'm almost sure that
undefined symbol has to do with the API change in boost 1.44.  I'll post
a solution as soon as I figure this out.

BTW the option "--with-boost=/usr/local" on the ./configure command line
causes it to link with a local install of boost instead of the distro
version (the boost libs are in /usr/local/lib)--on my machine it
compiled against the local boost and worked properly (output a lilypond
file and displayed it).  To run it I also had to export
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib".

Grace loads libfomus.so dynamically at run time (the Grace build doesn't
link with it at compile time)...  So recompiling Grace shouldn't be
necessary, it should load and use whatever version of fomus is installed
(and run without it if it can't find it)
