I guess you mean: every occurence of boost that is used as a namespace.

E.g. "namespace boost {" becomes "namespace boost_x_yz {"
and boost:: becomes boost_x_yz::.

But boost in strings, comments or boost_whatever should not be changed.

Btw.: do you know of a script (sed or alike) that will do the trick?

(Sidenote: it would be far easier if boost had a macro, say BOOST_NS
that library authors would routinely use for this task.)
