14 No, that won't work (soon). Boost is going to be split into smaller
15 parts, so I don't want to introduce any dependency generation API which
16 will have to change then.

22 Yes, and that makes it utterly pointless to have a function which just
23 converts some random magic string to random magic string + one word :P.

25 I'd rather give ${BOOST_PKG} to be used in *DEPEND if someone feels
26 that being really necessary. But as I said, it's going to be more
27 libraries soon.
