Hi Eric,

Can you please post Boost.Build changes to the Boost.Build ML for discussion? 
I fear this might drown in the noise on the main list.

Well, I do not like the include path explosion resulting from this. I think 
the correct way is to improve Boost.Build to generate correct forward headers 
or symlinks. See my patches based on Stevens work on the Boost.Build lists for 
a start.
