+# This file provides several macros to use the various Boost libraries.
+# The first macro is BOOST_REQUIRE. It will simply check if it's possible to
+# find the Boost headers of a given (optional) minimum version and it will
+# define BOOST_CPPFLAGS accordingly. It will add an option --with-boost to
+# your configure so that users can specify non standard locations.
+# If the user's environment contains BOOST_ROOT and --with-boost was not
+# specified, --with-boost=$BOOST_ROOT is implicitly used.
+# For more README and documentation, go to http://github.com/tsuna/boost.m4
+# Note: THESE MACROS ASSUME THAT YOU USE LIBTOOL. If you don't, don't worry,
+# simply read the README, it will show you what to do step by step.

+dnl iterations before it succeeds and is thus *very* slow. So what we do
+dnl instead is that we compile the code first (and thus get an object file,

+dnl until we succeed to link conftest.o in an executable. The problem is
+dnl that the various TRY_LINK / COMPILE_IFELSE macros of Autoconf always
+dnl remove all the temporary files including conftest.o. So the trick here
+dnl is to temporarily change the value of ac_objext so that conftest.o is
+dnl preserved accross tests. This is obviously fragile and I will burn in
