I share your worry. Probably some scm mechanism should take care of it. I'm out of ideas for the moment.
Maybe we should do it like Qt. They use a perl script called "sync-qt" to build the QTDIR/include tree on demand. The "include" tree then contains simple header files which just #include the "real" headers without anything else. Just clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt.git and take a look at bin/sync-qt To see it working, just start a (shadow) build using "configure" and take a look at the generated include tree. The release packages contain this tree so end users don't need to have perl installed. I think that something like that should be possible with Boost.Build and CMake. Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math.
