Bug#530474: Needs to link against boost_signals-mt

Package: pingus
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

Due to the recently-introduced package boost-defaults [1], the
unversioned Boost -dev packages changed from Boost version 1.34.1 to
version 1.38.0.

You package now fails to build due to that change.  Specifically, you
will need to link against "-mt" variants of the boost libraries.

Upstream stopped building separate single- and multi-threaded variants
of all libraries and Debian followed suit as of 1.37.0.  The
single-threaded variant was named, e.g. "-lboost_regex" while the
multi-threaded variant was suffixed with "-mt", i.e. named
"-lboost_regex-mt".  Your package needs to change its linker
arguments.
