[Dune] Boost and autoconf

OK, 'does not work means' the configure script aborts with

	Could not link against -lGL !

This seems to be OpenGl related, but '-lGL' is just the content
of the ax_lib variable that remains from the much earlier OpenGL test.
The boost test does in general also uses this variable but in this
case it is not reset.

Perhaps it would help if some has a working autoconf tests for
boost libraries (that is not the one from nongnu).

I could also send the tests and the corresponding part of the
configure script (~700 lines) but I'm afraid this will not
help without the possibility to test on Suse.

Best Regards
Carsten
