Thanks.  I did come across similar discussions before, but still don't
know if there are any results.  Does anyone know if anything came from
the discussions above?


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-centric crowd.

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.
