Unless I'm missing something, this is the only approach that appears to do fairly well for all of the Goals/Objectives/Needs/Wants, and very well for most of them.

I wouldn't be surprised if the following installation procedure was common among users of the library: bjam stage to target/lib copy boost-1.xx.y/boost to target/include With the proposed reorg, the resulting include dir would be full of source and build gunk, and would force the builder to use `bjam install' instead, which produces lots of bulky intermediaries and takes ages to deploy the headers. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se | 070-310 47 07
