This is an interesting tool indeed! I am using a similar aproach for 
quite some time now: I wrote a little perl script called renamespace.pl 
which allows me to pinpoint a specific boost version.

However some care has to be taken: One must make sure, that no part of 
the embedded boost version will leak out of the API. This can easily 
happen, e.g. if you expose a shared_ptr through a client visible header 
file.

Altough this problem might be not so severe in an open source project as 
it is when one has to distribute binary only libraries.

Just my 5 cents,
Roland
