Boost :

I was discussing the possibility of boostifying a project with someone
today and the issue came up with how to best deal with the utility
programs, etc. What is the general consensus of this? Would it be
better to have a separate project that uses boost or move the utility
programs into their own subdirectory under boost/lib/MyProj/utility. I
personally would like to keep these separate from the "example" programs
as the utilities are intended to be functional programs and not just
simple examples.

In other words, is:

  boost-X.Y.Z/boost/MyProj.hpp
  ...
  boost-X.Y.Z/lib/MyProj/example
  boost-X.Y.Z/lib/MyProj/utility

preferable over:

  MyProj-X.Y.Z/include/MyProj.hpp
  MyProj-X.Y.Z/include/boost
  ...
  MyProj-X.Y.Z/example
  MyProj-X.Y.Z/utility

or some similar directory structure...

 Thanks,
