Boost is a monolithic release, it might indeed be good to think about how the outcome of the CMake discussion interacts with the other profound change that has been worked on not so long ago: to model and reduce dependencies between libraries and break the monolithic structure.
That is also a bit beside my point. It doesn't matter for this use case whether Boost is monolithic or not; it could be that only a few of the libraries have in fact been installed. What matters is that the directory structure is $BOOST_ROOT/ libs/ hana/ lib2/ lib3/ and that the user wishes to build, test and optionally install one (and then optionally another) of the libraries.
