Maybe we should do it like Qt.
I 'modularized' the release branch and implemented include-directory-generation with a python script. (see the post in this thread with 'qtsync' in the title) You can get a tarball of the svn:externals-free modularized boost here: http://www.gitorious.org/boost/straszheim/archive-tarball/modularized It works like this: Unpack the tarball, make a build directory, configure with cmake as usual. A python script called make_includes.py will be generated into $BUILD/bin/. Run it and a directory full of forwarding headers will be created in $BUILD/include/boost. That's the only include path you need. The source for the script is in tools/build/CMake/make_includes.py.in Generation of boost/ directory for distribution isn't done, but would be trivial. Each component's headers are in libs/*/include/ There is a dummy component called core: libs/core/include/ has the headers that didn't go anywhere else. Note: 1. if you add or remove headers you'd have to rerun this script. 2. there's an extra #include hop in every error/warning. We could probably do something with links on unix to get around this. 3. it requires python -t
