For this and the other “for-irods” packages, how about:

  1. Inheriting from the original package (‘boost’ in this case), to at
     least avoid duplicating the synopsis, description, and license?

  2. Adding the ‘hidden?’ property, because they are not meant to be
     installed on their own?

Apart from that, it LGTM.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
