Ok so you download my library.  My library needs your boost to compile 
it.  How does it find Boost?  I have provided my makefile.  What do you 
expect to have to do to my library to get it to find Boost.  What do you 
want it to do?  What is the least you expect it to handle?  Unless there 
is some option I don't know about for Mingw, you are going to have to 
modify my makefile to point to Boost or define some environment variable 
so I know where it's at so I can add the proper -I line.
