I'm happy to see the talk about 0install, which I understand is a tool that will manage the dependencies better.
I'm currently standing up 0install feeds for modularized boost, e.g. http://ryppl.github.com/feeds/Boost.Signals2.xml This is work-in-progress; installation doesn't complete because of the many usage dependencies (other libraries you need in order to use Signals2) that I haven't generated feeds for yet, but you can see it beginning to work if you try it (and anyone who wants to help is most welcome). The use of 0install makes modularization a non-issue where the DVCS is concerned, so I truly don't think it's worth hashing over the different ways you can handle this with Hg or Git or SVN. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
