Likewise, documenting the prerequisites is easy, if you have to do it upfront. It's only hard if these dependencies are implied, and only after the fact you need to re-discover them. git submodules.
That's only useful if you still want to work with the whole boost source tree as a whole, so I see it as a transitional measure. As I said, I really would like to get to a point where I can only check out boost.python, then configure its build by pointing at prerequisite libraries that I have either previously built myself, or got from my Linux (or other OS) distro. So there still is a fair bit of work that needs to go into boost.build. Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
