FWIW, b2 in libs/timer/test master works when tools/inspect and
libs/filesystem are both on their develop branch.  If only tools/inspect
is on develop, inspect segfaults in boost::filesystem::initial_path()
during static initialization.

Perhaps it would be better not to update the superproject submodules
automatically when a module pushes to master, and instead wait until
integration testing infrastructure is in place.  At least until the git
module maintenance process is a bit more stable.
