Well, unfortunately so far Boost people don't seem to have a stable
defintion of their include dir or release versions. Most new minor's are
released as major.minor, but sometimes they add a .subminor and it also
sometimes gets into the include-dir I think. Don't have enough boost
versions here to be sure about that though.

Anyway, yes the additional directory won't hurt.
