You might want to ask on a Fedora mailing list what's the correct way
to select an "environment module" with their new package.  I think
this has nothing to
do with the Boost build process -- you probably just need to set some
environment
variables or run a command that does some kind of environment setup for you.

I don't use Fedora myself and I have no access to any machine running
it, so I'm afraid I cannot be of any help here.
