First, I would say, there is a need for a better autoconf for boost. There has been some interest in scons, and scons also includes some capability here that might be useful. autoconf is a tool for configuring builds, scons is a complete build system. Both things do not help when writing an application that uses boost.
I was referring to the fact that recent scons has added an autoconf-like functionality.
I don't think pkg-config is the right tool. All it is for is to record the settings that were used to build packages - it doesn't figure them out. I don't see how that would help boost. That was no "please replace bjam with <buildtool>"-email. I was talking about helping poeple who want to use boost, and integrate that into the build system they use.
So, do you mean you want to use pkg-config to record the settings that were used to build boost? If so, I misunderstood. This might be useful.
