Yes I see. In my version I search for the newest boost version and
take the version number from that include directory. 
I should refine my macro, if I find multiple boost installations 
I could use your approach for the newest directory version.
However the fallback alternative with BOOSTROOT looks fine too
(CXXFLAGS can be extended by $BOOSTROOT) but how is it possible 
to determine the linker path (LDFLAGS) in
such a case. As long as not installed all the libraries reside in their
$BOOSTROOT/bin/boost/libs/<special-dir> ?
