I did some more experimenting, seems that I should be using more than 
just implicit-dependency as that will only indicate that the target may 
produce files that are included by the sources.

Adding <dependency>/boost//headers causes the links to be generated, 
though I suspect the include path is being brought in my some other 
means because based on the description of the "features" it seems I 
should not put in <dependency> but instead <use> so the 
usage-requirements are brought across.

A la:
<use>/boost//headers
<implicit-dependency>/boost//headers
