Comment (by smr at debian.org):

 I wanted to record here a thread from 2005 discussing pkg-config support
 in Boost:

     http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/06/88432.php

 This thread is best characterized as advocating pkg-config (or something
 like it) and educating some of the boost developers as to the pitfalls of
 the current nonstandard library naming convention.
