I'm not sure what I'm going to say is implicitly covered in the docs.  When
I make Boost libraries, or work on an existing one, I make a parallel
directory that only contains the files and directories I'm working on.  Then
I adjust my IDE's paths so it grabs my new version of the files before the
current ones.  But I don't replicate the other Boost files, so the original
ones are grabbed when I reference a not-worked-on file.  (My ZIP files are
based on this.)  I wonder if a new structure can keep that idea, since I
don't use CVS.
