** Description changed: I can't find any pkg-config files for Boost in $PKG_CONFIG_PATH. It would be great if the package maintainers could provide some. If maintainer time is a problem, I'm prepared to have a stab at making some up myself (gulp). I know this issue has been discussed now and then on the Boost mailing list (since 2005?), but it seems to me the conclusion was basically "it's up to the package maintainer". I think this is a bug rather than a feature request, apologies if I'm wrong. But it does make Boost tough to use in a crossplatform environment.
