I recommend against messing with makefiles for Boost libs -- it's a science
experiment that you will sink a bunch of time into.  Best to follow the
boost.build instructions if you need to build something in boost.  In the case
of Boost.graph, however, it is mostly a header only library with the exception
of the graphviz extensions.  If you don't need the graphviz part your job is
even simplier -- unpack the files and include the header.
