I have tried to put on my init.rb the following class definition:

require 'autobuild/configurable'
module Autobuild
    def self.boost_package(name, &block)
        BoostPackage.new(name, &block)
    end
    class BoostPackage < Configurable
    def configure
        Autobuild::Subprocess.run(self, 'configure', './bootstrap.sh',
"--prefix=#{prefix}")
    end
    def build
        Autobuild::Subprocess.run(self, 'build', './b2 install')
    end
    def install; end
    end
end

But then in my .autobuild file, I guessed that boost_package 'boost1.48'
would have worked, but autoproj complains that boost_package does not exist.
In source.yml, I have set the archive url for boost1.48.
