Hello,

I'm trying to write my first `.eb` file, to compile a program that only
has a simple build-time dependency on the Boost library headers.

In the docs[1], I see that build-time dependencies are specified by a
tuple like this one:

        ('CMake', '2.8.12', '', ('GCC', '4.8.2'))

Now, the first and second slots are for SW name and version.
What should go in the 3rd slot (empty string here)?

The 4th slot is for specifying a toolchain, I guess.  But "Boost"
easyconfig files seem to have more than the toolchain in them, e.g.,
`Boost-1.58.0-foss-2015b-Python-2.7.10.eb`.  Should I just ignore the
`-Python-2.7.10` part?

Thanks for any help!

Ciao,
R
