The library is in CVS now, and will be part of 1.32 release. It indeed has a
parser for INI-line config files, and according to 

   http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-Darwin.html

works just fine on Mac. The documentation can be found at:

   http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/program_options.html

If you decide that you'd want to use it, you can checkout the CVS version,
or wait for the next release, though I'm not exactly sure when it will
happen.

Should you have any question, please ask.
