It's quite difficult for some people to update. Certainly not something they can do several times a year.
(And - aside - why it is not
Trunk/ Jamfile mylib/ boost/ libs/
Why are there two 'extra' /mylib folders? Is this historical or is/was there some logic to it?)
It's need in the header directory so that the include paths for different libraries don't clash.
That seems lot of extra sub folders for something that a modest about of name control could avoid? But I would not even think changing it now. I haven't found that explanation of why anywhere - but of course there isn't an effective index to much of Boost ;-) (I note that there are some projects in sandbox that fail to follow this layout, so they are going to get into trouble :-( A template might help?)
