Right. I think I wasn't very clear: I believe generating and installing pc files for all boost libraries as part of the boost.build process is fine. Yet some systems package the libraries differently (renamed libraries, different installation prefixes, etc.), so it must be possible to modify those files.
If the vendors install things "the right way" (e.g. using bjam, and possibly using the lightly documented --layout flag -- see BOOST_ROOT/Jamfile), then bjam ought to be able to generate the .pc files with the correct settings. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
