I imagine, when Boost gets truly modular, one would download sources of the needed libraries separately,

I don't think one can conclude from that thread that the ability to download and install one library is a non-goal for boost. In fact I think that anyone reading that thread would have to conclude the opposite. The problem is that this is a lot harder than it looks. It's much more than cleaning up dependencies. Proposals to achieve this - to the extent that they can be characterized as proposals - have been incomplete, impractible and/or unconvincing. I firmly believe that we want to do this and are on the path to doing so. -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/mpl-build-testing-Merge-pull-requests-tp4...
