   I do not so. Not unless you write this functionality.

   However, I do not really know how one would go about that since Boost 
does not have any 'standard' locations where it registers itself nor 
does is place itself in any sort of 'standard' location on different OSs 
so I do not know how one would find it in the first place, other than 
some sort of a brute force disk search...
