Re: [boost] [GitHelp] release version of boost from GitHub?

You could probably reconstruct the full release by downloading the individual archives from each submodule project (or at least each library that you want plus its dependencies).

To match the format of earlier releases, the release has its headers in boost/ and the individual libs/<name>/include/ directories are removed. If you do `git submodule update --init` and then `./bootstrap(.sh)` and then `./b2 headers` you'll have something very similar to the release, except that boost/ will contain symlinks (or hardlinks/junctions on Windows) instead of copies. But it won't be the same as the actual release as shipped.
