Comment(by s.ochsenknecht@…):

 I added a patch which solves this ticket.

 When printing out all program options it will go to a new line and print
 out the description on the next line if the first part is too long. The
 output from the test case will look like the following with the patch:

 {{{
   -c [ --cfgfile ] arg
 (=/usr/local/etc/myprogramXXXXXXXX/configuration.conf)
                                         the configfile
   -f [ --fritz ] arg (=/other/file)     the output file
 }}}

 Is it useful? Any comments?

 I'm not a boost maintainer, so I'll better to keep the status of this
 ticket ... :-)
