You want recursive_directory_iterator. For example, to search a directory
'/home/foo' for a subdirectory 'bar' at any level, you can do:

using namespace boost::filesystem;

for (recursive_directory_iterator cur("/home/foo"), end; cur != end; ++cur)
{
    if (cur->status().type() == directory_file && cur->path() == "bar")
    {
        // Found it
    }
}

Hope that helps,
Nate
