Thanks. I did come across similar discussions before, but still don't know if there are any results. Does anyone know if anything came from the discussions above?
I don't believe either discussion reached anything resembling closure. Part of the problem (at least my take on it) seems to be communicating the utility of pkg-config (or something like it) to the Boost.Build-centriccrowd. Andreas Pokorny seemed to say he was going to implement a pkg-config-alike tool for Boost, but I haven't heard anything else about it since that thread petered out. I've CC'ed him on this message. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
