dnl @synopsis AX_BOOST([MINIMUM-VERSION])
dnl
dnl Test for the Boost C++ libraries of a particular version (or newer)
dnl
dnl If no path to the installed boost library is given the macro
dnl searchs under /usr, /usr/local, and /opt, and evaluates the
dnl $BOOST_ROOT environment variable. Further documentation is
dnl available at <http://randspringer.de/boost/index.html>.
dnl
dnl This macro calls:
dnl
dnl   AC_SUBST(BOOST_CPPFLAGS) / AC_SUBST(BOOST_LDFLAGS)
dnl
dnl And sets:
dnl
dnl   HAVE_BOOST
