  I just wrote a configure macro for boost. My simple question is do 
you prefer BOOST_CFLAGS value to match. Since I gather Boost is a 
collection of related headers, I can keep adding code to look for the 
modules we need. My current test just find the right directory to set 
the include path.

  Since Boost is just header files, why would we even need to extract 
anything ? I'll admit I know little about Boost other than it's highly 
recommended.
