Great work, thank you.

Maybe I missed it somewhere but do I understand correctly that develop 
branch corresponds to the current trunk? Also, what branches will be tested?

I would also like to see instructions of checking out and composing a 
monolithic Boost distribution, possibly with (or without) only selected 
libraries. As I understand, the common boost/ directory with links to 
library headers would have to be recreated somehow.

And is there a way to specify dependencies between libraries? Is it 
possible to checkout lib A and everything it requires?
