I assume you mean "http://www.boost.org/libs/library-name"?

Sounds good. I think we should try to do the conversion automatically, at 
least for all files in subdirectories (e.g., the file boost/xxx/yyy.hpp would 
be assumed to be a part of library xxx if libs/xxx exists) and for files 
boost/xxx.hpp where there is a library in libs/xxx. We don't want to do this 
conversion by hand :)
