In the build directory, there's an empty lib directory as well as a
non-empty libs directory.  I assume the lib directory creation is a bug;
however, the wiki document:

http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/CMakeConfigAndBuild

does say lib instead of libs. Also that document uses the term
"binary directory" to refer to the $(BOOST)/build directory. I'm
wondering if it would be more readable to just say "build directory"?
