I had no idea LIB_SUFFIX was standard.  Can you point me to some
examples?  Of course we'll prefer the most standard thing when it
exists.  For that matter, it would be great if cmake supported
configure-style '--prefix' and friends.
Anything KDE-4 based supports this. kdelibs installs a set of macros
that just about any KDE4 package uses, and thus automatically supports.
Assuming the KDE ship has sailed and it was a conscious decision to  
not use autoconf's variable naming convention (something that, IMO,  
should be revisited and standardized), which path will Boost follow?
As a retired ports committer for FreeBSD, and having looked at various  
other packaging systems, using autoconf's environment variables would  
dramatically simplify various porting efforts for boost packages in  
the future.  $0.02  -sc
