description.

+# @BLURB: helper functions for packages using Boost C++ library
+# @DESCRIPTION:
+# Helper functions to be used when building packages using the Boost C++
+# library collection.
+#
+# For cmake & autotools it is usually necessary to set BOOST_ROOT using
+# boost-utils_export_root. However, other build system may require more
+# hackery or even appending -I$(boost-utils_get_includedir) to CFLAGS
+# and -L$(boost-utils_get_libdir) to LDFLAGS.
+#
+# If the package supports the newest version of boost, it should depend
+# on >=dev-libs/boost-x.y.z (min version) or just dev-libs/boost. If it
+# doesn't, you should set BOOST_MAX_VERSION (or just pass the correct
+# slot to the used function) and depend on dev-libs/boost:x.y.

+# @ECLASS-VARIABLE: BOOST_MAX_VERSION
+# @DEFAULT_UNSET
+# @DESCRIPTION:
+# The maximal (newest) boost version supported by the package. If unset,
+# the newest installed version will be used.
+#
+# Please note that if BOOST_MAX_VERSION is set, the package should
+# depend on boost packages with *exactly* that slot (i.e. boost:1.47);
+# otherwise, the package should depend on boost without a slot
+# specified (i.e. >=boost-1.45).

+
+# @FUNCTION: boost-utils_get_includedir
+# @USAGE: [slot]
+# @DESCRIPTION:
+# Get the includedir for the given Boost slot. If no slot is given,
+# defaults to ${BOOST_MAX_VERSION}. If that variable is unset,
+# the newest installed slot will be used.
+#
+# Outputs the sole path (without -I).

+# @DESCRIPTION:
+# Get the libdir for the given Boost slot. If no slot is given, defaults

+# installed slot will be used.

+# Outputs the sole path (without -L).

+# @FUNCTION: boost-utils_export_root
+# @USAGE: [slot]
+# @DESCRIPTION:
+# Set the BOOST_ROOT variable to includedir for the given Boost slot.
+# If no slot is given, defaults to ${BOOST_MAX_VERSION}. If that
+# variable is unset, the newest installed slot will be used.
+#
+# This variable satisfies both cmake and sys-devel/boost-m4 autoconf
+# macros.
