No, that won't work (soon). Boost is going to be split into smaller
parts, so I don't want to introduce any dependency generation API which
will have to change then.

Yes, and that makes it utterly pointless to have a function which just
converts some random magic string to random magic string + one word :P.
I'd rather give ${BOOST_PKG} to be used in *DEPEND if someone feels
that being really necessary. But as I said, it's going to be more
libraries soon.
