[boost] Refactoring a library for header-only or linked library?

I am considering refactoring a (potential Boost) library separating declarations and definitions
into two sets of files with the objective of  reducing compilation times and allow it to be used as
header-only or linking with a pre-built library.

Is there is best/Boost way of doing this?

Is there a Boost library that I should use as a model?  ASIO?

Should I call the definition files .cpp or .ipp?

Should definition files go in libs/src or in boost/?

How should I control the header-only/library switch?

View and suggestions?

Thanks

Paul
