Hello,
It seems to me also that there should be some more iterations or some 
more relevant documentation.

I would feel more comfortable using submodules, but without them my best 
attempt up to now is (ublas as an example here):

git clone https://github.com/boostorg/boost modular-boost
cd modular-boost
{manually relpace /v2 with /buildv2 in  boost-build.jam and bootstrap.sh}
cd tools
git clone https://github.com/boostorg/build
cd ..
./bootstrap.sh
cd libs/numeric
git clone https://github.com/boostorg/ublas
cd ../../
./b2 include=libs/numeric/ublas/include libs/numeric/ublas/bench1
(to compile bench1 for example)

This relies on the assumption that the rest of boost is in an accessible 
location in the system.
