[CM] Grace and Fomus on F 14

o.k. - i got it sorted here using a local boost and fomus and i'll
outline the steps here in case it helps anyone else who doesn't want
to wait for fedora to update boost to 1.45.

- get boost 1.45, untar into /usr/local/src and run ./bootstrap
- ./bjam install --prefix=/usr/local
- (though this puts things in very strange places - the whole boost
build & install process is very opaque to me)
- mv /usr/local/libboost_* lib/ (see above)
- mkdir /usr/local/include/boost
- mv /usr/local/boost/* /usr/local/include/boost

- then untar fomus 0.1.15 into /usr/local/src
- ./configure --with-boost=/usr/local
- make install

- make a file called 'local.conf' in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ containing the
line '/usr/local/lib'
- run ldconfig

- start Grace and see the new Fomus in its terminal window
- run a fomus example from Help>Examples>Scheme>Fomus and do a
hokeypokey when it works!
- write some music.
