Did you bother reading the documentation? The very first sentence on
http://boost.org says "The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed
portable C++ source libraries". Please, also read the answers to
frequently asked questions at http://www.boost.org/more/faq.htm.

After doing that you might be interested in reading the Boost.Config
documentation at http://www.boost.org/libs/config/config.htm. This
documentation explains how Boost internally manages OS and compiler
dependencies.

Please note, that there is a Boost Users mailing list. It is more
appropriate for asking questions about how to use Boost libraries
than the developers mailing list is. See
http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#users
