It's not exactly easy to keep a single tree along with testing proposed 
libraries. I tend to keep a full checkout of Boost CVS and put proposed 
libraries into separate directories. When testing the proposed libraries, 
make sure to #include from the proposed library's path _before_ the main 
Boost CVS checkout. 

I have no idea how this would interact with the build system, but I'm sure it 
isn't pretty :)
