Hi Paul.
I used the AX_BOOST macros some months ago. From memory, the package is
composed of a number of macros of which AX_BOOST_BASE is the base macro. I was
using the macros under Fedora Core 2 (FC2) with 2 different versions of Boost
installed. One version was the standard version that comes with FC2 (1.30.x I
think), the other was version 1.33.1 which I installed in my home directory.
From memory, I was able to specify which installation of Boost I wanted the
autotools to use and autoconf would find it and work out which version it it
was. If you are like me, you may need to have a bit of a play with these macros
first before you get the hang of how to use them.

Hope this helps.
