I installed Boost from the Windows binary distribution and noticed
that there is no include directory in the extracted package. There is
a directory called boost which contains the header files in the
expected structure.

I figured that if boost_root be my installation directory, then my
include path needs to be $boost_root, since in most places I include
headers like this:

#include <boost/thread.hpp> // etc.

Is this by design?

Thanks,
