AX_BOOST_BASE: add ACTION-IF-FOUND/ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND-style API

Changes on 2009-12-02 by Peter Adolphs:

 - fixed broken indentation (tabs/spaces)
 - added ACTION-IF-FOUND and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND
 - notice instead of error when boost was not found
 - changed help message

Changes on 2009-11-28 by Tim Niemueller:

 - fixed problem with lib dir for 64Bit systems
