The convention I use is that when talking about the entire library, go
with Boost.LibraryName, and when talking about a specific component,
use boost::component_name.  That's because there's times when I want to
talk about boost::bind() in particular, disregarding the other elements
in the Boost.Bind library, and Boost libraries often contain a type that
has the same name as the library, but also other types that one might
want to talk about individually.
