I prefer this kind of approach. On Linux (Mandrake or RedHat) I would rather
use $prefix/include/boost-1.27.0/boost with a symbolic link from
$prefix/include/boost to the default boost version. The same applies to the
compiled libraries.

Please keep in mind that boost headers usually #include other boost headers
using absolute paths (since Metrowerks is reported to have problems with
relative includes) and you need 1.26 headers to include 1.26 headers and not
the latest version.
