How to install only subset of header files

Hi, Last week I mailed a question about how to install only a few libraries, but I did'nt get any replies. Maybe I didn't clearly enough explain what I wanted to ask. So I'll try again. Is it possible to only install a subset of all boost *header files*? More specifically, only the header files that are needed when installing one or more libraries. For example, suppose I only want to use Boost Smart Pointers and Boost.Threads. I would like Bjam to only install the header files that are needed for those two libraries, not *all* Boost header files. I know that you can and should use the bjam option --with-<library>, but, AFAIK, this only works for the library, not for the header files. Any help would be appreciated. Kind regards, Marcel Loose.

Did you have a look at BCP? See "http://www.boost.org/tools/bcp/bcp.html". Markus
