Stephen, I guess it's better to get the most recent Boost package. My debian
box has 1.30.2 and you probably can get it for yourself by running

  apt-get -t unstable install libboost
  apt-get -t unstable install libboost-dev

(thought this might require update of gcc, as well, and that's a big
change).

In fact, if libboost-doc package in installed, then the file is in

    /usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML/libs/config/config.htm
