[Pdns-users] PowerDNS Recursor 4.0.0 Alpha 3 released

[sthaug at nethelp.no]

Did you get any time to look at this patch? As mentioned below, the
FreeBSD build which appears to do without the patch actually uses a 
combination of LDFLAGS which results in linking with /usr/local/lib
(where the Boost libraries are).
