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.
