Ok, then the current link to boost sourceforge seems broken, does
anyone else has the same problem ?

Maybe : BOOST_SITE =
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/$(BOOST_VERSION)
would be a working solution, butI found it by tries and fails so it is
maybe not the best link.

I can propose you a patch to be abble to select different version a
boost in config menus. But I'm not sure that the current mk can handle
other versions.

I personnaly put Boost in Packages->Librairies->Boost. It is currently
in a "Other" menu.Don't you think it would be a better place ?
