This is an extra tool, not bundled with the default waf binary.
To add the boost tool to the waf file:
$ ./waf-light --tools=compat15,boost
	or, if you have waf >= 1.6.2
$ ./waf update --files=boost

When using this tool, the wscript will look like:

	def options(opt):
		opt.load('compiler_cxx boost')

	def configure(conf):
		conf.load('compiler_cxx boost')
		conf.check_boost(lib='system filesystem')

	def build(bld):
		bld(source='main.cpp', target='app', use='BOOST')

Options are generated, in order to specify the location of boost includes/libraries.
The `check_boost` configuration function allows to specify the used boost libraries.
It can also provide default arguments to the --boost-static and --boost-mt command-line arguments.
Everything will be packaged together in a BOOST component that you can use.

When using MSVC, a lot of compilation flags need to match your BOOST build configuration:
 - you may have to add /EHsc to your CXXFLAGS or define boost::throw_exception if BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is defined.
   Errors: C4530
 - boost libraries will try to be smart and use the (pretty but often not useful) auto-linking feature of MSVC
   So before calling `conf.check_boost` you might want to disabling by adding:
   	conf.env.DEFINES_BOOST += ['BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB']
   Errors: 
 - boost might also be compiled with /MT, which links the runtime statically.
   If you have problems with redefined symbols, 
		self.env['DEFINES_%s' % var] += ['BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB']
		self.env['CXXFLAGS_%s' % var] += ['/MD', '/EHsc']
Passing `--boost-linkage_autodetect` might help ensuring having a correct linkage in some basic cases.
