I'd like to suggest using a build-system-agnostic tool to report such build options, which can be picked up by any build system. I'm specifically thinking of pkg-config, which can report build flags based on .pc files that can be provided with binary packages. That system is widely used with most (if not all) Linux distributions, and it supports many more platforms.
That's just one extra module to find out those options. Not everyone use pkg-config, even on Linux.
So we agree that boost should also ship extra files on top of headers and library binaries?
I think that's sensible, yes. Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
