Description

Similar to many other packages (eg: curl, krb5, pcre, xml2, xslt etc..), can we also ship boost-config that would provide the installation options ?

We can probably start with something like this ?

```
$ /usr/bin/boost-config --help
Usage: boost-config [ options ]

Options:
--cflags print compiler options
--ldflags print linker options
--prefix print the boost prefix
--version print the boost version
--help print this usage summary

$ /usr/bin/boost-config --version
1.66.0
$ /usr/bin/boost-config --cflags
-I/usr/include
$ /usr/bin/boost-config --ldflags
-L/usr/lib64 -Wl,-R/usr/lib64
```
