How it's listed in the library lists is up to the gil maintainers and you.

You can see the inspection report at:

http://boost.cowic.de/rc/docs-inspect-trunk.html#gil

*C* = missing copyright, *Lic* = missing license.

I'd normally just include it from the gil tests (using 'build-project'
I think). But if you want it to be separate you can add it to
'status/Jamfile.v2'. I think you'll also need to add an empty
'sublibs' file in 'libs/gil/' to indicate that it has sub-libraries -
you can see these in the algorithm, functional, numeric, spirit and
utility libraries.

Btw. if it isn't obvious, the release process is up in the air for
this cycle due to the git migration.
