Hi Steve,

I think we just need to get pkg-config support into Boost.

I've done the work for that a good while back--I just lack the bjam
expertise to integrate it into the boost build.  If there's anyone
out there with the expertise to do that, I'll be more than happy to
work with them to get the patches properly integrated so that we
can get a full patch to upstream.


Regards,
Roger
