   boost::process detection fails here (FreeBSD 13.0) with:

   0configure:32183: checking for Boost Process
   1configure:32196: c++ -std=c++17 -c -g -O2  -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS -DPROVIDE_FUZZ_MAIN_FUNCTION conftest.cpp >&5
   2conftest.cpp:80:10: fatal error: 'boost/process.hpp' file not found
   3#include <boost/process.hpp>
   4         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   51 error generated.
   6configure:32196: $? = 1
   

   The header in question does exist in /usr/local/include/boost/process.hpp. However, no include path is passed?

   For comparison, the preceding boost::filesystem check, which passes -I/usr/local/include succeeds:

   0configure:32026: checking for exit in -lboost_filesystem
   1configure:32051: c++ -std=c++17 -o conftest -g -O2  -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS -DPROVIDE_FUZZ_MAIN_FUNCTION -I/usr/local/include  -L/usr/local/lib conftest.cpp -lboost_filesystem   -lboost_system >&5
   2configure:32051: $? = 0
   3configure:32061: result: yes

   I can confirm the same behaviour on OpenBSD 6.9:

   0configure:31594: checking for Boost Process
   1configure:31607: c++ -std=c++17 -c -g -O2  -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS -DPROVIDE_FUZZ_MAIN_FUNCTION conftest.cpp >&5
   2conftest.cpp:79:10: fatal error: 'boost/process.hpp' file not found
   3#include <boost/process.hpp>
   4         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   51 error generated.
   

   0$ find / -name process.hpp

   Confirming the same behavior on my FreeBSD 13 machine; when trying to build off master:

   0checking for Boost Process... configure: error: Boost::Process is required for external signer support, but not available!
