Could you please try building 4.3.0 when the port is updated?

Summary: mkvtoolnix 3.2.0 configure failure on Leopardmkvtoolnix configure fails to find boost in nonstandard MacPorts prefix

With the patch from #26647, the new error is:

checking for boostlib >= 1.34.0... yes
checking whether the Boost::System library headers are available... yes
checking whether the Boost::Filesystem library headers are available... yes
configure: error: The Boost::Filesystem library was not found in .

But it works if I add "--with-boost=${prefix}" so I'll add that when I resolve #26647.

This Leopard machine also uses a nonstandard MacPorts prefix; it must be that, and not the OS version, that is the problem. In ac/ax_boost_base.m4 we see a hardcoded list of search paths, including /opt/local.
