Thanks. This solved most of my problems. However, I observed that some
links are just not created when I run `b2 headers`, no matter if I remove
boost, re-run. I had to manually add a couple of links when compiling with
`toolset=gcc`. When compiling with visual C++, I had to manually copy some
folders:

folder
modular-boost\libs\preprocessor\include\boost\preprocessor\iteration\detail\
contents of modular-boost\libs\preprocessor\include\boost\preprocessor\slot
folder modular-boost\libs\exception\include\boost\exception\detail
