I don't believe either discussion reached anything resembling closure. Part
of the problem (at least my take on it) seems to be communicating the
utility of pkg-config (or something like it) to the Boost.Build-centriccrowd.

Andreas Pokorny seemed to say he was going to implement a pkg-config-alike
tool for Boost, but I haven't heard anything else about it since that thread
petered out. I've CC'ed him on this message.
