This should be easy to solve by turning on Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED
when configuring DOLFIN. However, is this a bug in MacPorts since all
the Boost libraries seems to have the non -mt ending except for the
thread library? What I mean is that there seems to be missing a
symlink libboost_thread.dylib -> libboost_thread-mt.dylib (or ->
libboost_thread.dylib.1.44.0).
