I want to reiterate my suggestion that we move Boost's include directory from $BOOST_ROOT to $BOOST_ROOT/include.

Our organization has been following the example in the first pages of the getting started guide [1][2] and using #include <boost/header.path.hpp> with $BOOST_ROOT in our include path, so changing that to 'include' would require major source changes to our (and presumably lots of others') code bases. I think this is far too disruptive of a change for the benefits described.
