The JaveScript tree always generates an infinite loop in my browser :-(

What your are suggesting is that we deduce library dependencies from the
header dependencies?

Is the structure in boost sufficiently static at this point to make use of
or enforce something like this:

* Things of the form "boost/*.hpp" are Boost.Base (if we had such a thing).
* That things of the form "boost/<subdir>/*.hpp... are in their respective
Boost.<Library>.

If that where true then building a dependency graph at the library level is
possible from the headers themselves.
