Comment (by Roger Leigh <rleigh@…>):

 If the above proposed method is unsuitable, e.g. because it's not suitable
 for cross-compiling, could it be generated by boost-install?  If all the
 information is present at this point, where would be the ideal place to
 make the change?  tools/build/v2/tools/stage.py looks promising; but we
 need to be able to tell if we're installing a library or something else,
 e.g. a binary.  This would I guess also allow creation of one pc file per
 library per toolchain variant etc.  If this is the case, we can simply
 output the .pc file directly into the destination libdir/pkg-
 config/libname.pc.

 Regards,
 Roger
