yes, it's the same, I just meant that instead of polluting the .pro file 
you can pass these options to qmake at the command line :)

you have to put in the INCLUDEPATH (which I usually write as INCPATH, 
are you sure it's the same?) the path where the boost subdirectory is.

For instance, if regex.hpp is in

/my/path/boost_1_40_0/include/boost

then you need to specify as include path

/my/path/boost_1_40_0/include/

since boost header files are included as follows

#include <boost/regex.hpp>

As for the compilation and installation of boost you can still refer to 
that blog post since those flags are for bootstrap and bjam anyway.

please let me know

cheers
