Unfortunately, even though you have used "git send-email" this time,
the patches are still line-wrapped. I strongly suspect that your
company SMTP server, while adding the useless "DISCLAIMER" at the end
of each e-mail, takes the freedom to rewrap the entire e-mail.

Solutions are:

 *) Complain to your IT people.

 *) Send using another SMTP server.

 *) Let us fix up the patches manually. This is OK for small patches,
    but is quickly going to be horrible if the patches become large.

Ok, so this package only builds with Python 2, correct?

I must say it's really horrible to need something as large as Boost
just to have a Python interface to a library as simple as libconfig.
But oh well, that's not your fault.

This looks good, but since this patch actually depends on the next
patch, they should be inverted in the patch series: the boost patch
first, and then the python-libconfig patch.

Thanks!
