Yes, there was an old boost.pc file in the path from the old stable
dolfin installation (which I didn't want to touch).

I also removed boost 1.35 from apt, libboost-dev uses 1.34, but I
think it was the .pc file.
Reminder to self: always locate foo.pc before asking dolfin-dev...
(I also need an easier system for handling multiple installed versions.)
