This is a common situation.  The boost directory structure doesn't play 
nice with new libraries which are not already part of boost.  When I put 
the safe numerics library into the incubator, I used path names for 
includes so that one would not have to do the above procedure for the 
new library.  This permitted one to build and run the tests and 
examples, but of course created consternation of another sort.
