Traditionally on Boeing it is half the speed plus all the 'gusts'
Presumably you mean half the reported headwind component plus all the gust factor? Not forgetting the FCTM advice to bleed off the headwind component approaching touch down. Many airlines fail to accentuate this point and the result is excess speed over the threshold and long float which is not a Good Thing - especially if runway length limited and its raining.
