Thanks, I've patched the cvs - note that I had to alter your script slightly
in order to get everything working - in particular I had to alter your use
of :

+       if test -f "$d/boost/boost/config.hpp"; then

to

+       if test -f "$boost_base/boost/boost/config.hpp"; then

in several places.  You may want to recheck the new cvs version of the
script.
