What advantage does that have over just <include>path-to-boost ?

In any case it completely misses the point: I know where Boost is on my
machine, I don't know where it is on someone elses machine (who may be
running my examples). bjam on the other hand *does* know where boost is,
because it's located the build system. It's that information I want to pull
out.
