Boost version check failure - replace boost.m4 #5

When running ./configure it fails to check whether the correct version of the Boost libraries are installed. The problem was detected on Ubuntu 15.10, Boost version 1.58.0 and g++ version

I'm still not sure where the problem comes from, but I think it's rooted in the boost.m4 file. The macros are not able to check if 1.58.0 is higher than the required version.

Solution I was able to solve the problem by replacing the boost.m4 file with the newest one from the tsuna/boost.4 repository, therefore in my opinion the macro file in this project should be updated in order to minimise the chances of detection issues like this in the future.
