Sorry, Roger,

my mail was not clear enough. I meant to use FindBoost through a command like

find_package(Boost 1.48.0 COMPONENTS date_time program_options REQUIRED)

i.e. I want to check the presence of *specific* Boost components.
Needed e.g. under Debian, where users are free to install whatever
subset of Boost.

Package date_time has a header file named 'date_time.hpp';
package program_option has 'program_options.hpp'.

Isn't this long-term stable? Why not check for the presence of these files?

Best regards, Joachim
