I previously got up on a soapbox about this one with those archived posts on clutch use and upshifting/downshifting. Rather than ramble on again I'd comment that if you're having trouble with the Boxster's "clutch", the root cause is incorrect modulation of the gas pedal during the clutch take-up.
If you lead with the heel/bottom, followed by the middle, then front/top of the foot you'll have better shifting then trying to press the gas peddle down leading with the front of the foot. (same goes with the clutch foot as I mentioned previously).
I'm also now very much a believer in the other individual's point (forget who in that thread) which suggested the ideal seating position in a Porsche is achieved when the right foot is able to push in the clutch pedal.
Interesting comment DeliriousGA. I drove a manual Wrangler for a couple years in College and I fondly recollect it as the easiest car to shift that I've ever driven.
