[Rivet] boost.m4 BOOST_FIND_LIB

[Andy Buckley]

Hi James,

Have a look at the docs here:
https://github.com/tsuna/boost.m4/

I think the pre-packaged way to do it is to call BOOST_IOSTREAMS.

Feel free to update to the latest version of that boost.m4 if you like.
The current version is a few months old and contains some patches by me
which then got pulled into that Github repo.

Andy
