For me, the Boost is a set of libraries that:
1. Have the same Boost license.
2. Are accepted by the Boost community.
3. Use the same naming convention (currently, it is the boost:: 
namespace and the boost/ prefix for include files).
4. Are tested and work well together (i mean well-known versions of the 
libraries).
5. Can be built and installed using the same [bjam] engine.
6. Are distributed from boost.org.

A good example of such a library is boost::spirit. Note that:
1. It is developed separately (has its own newsgroups and site).
2. It has its own version numbering. Actually, boost contains two 
versions of this library, 1.8.x and 2.5.x, side by side.
