Hello,

I can download one monolithic tarball to get Boost 1.56:

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.56.0

And I get all of it. There are no separate 'modular Boost' tarballs so that 
I can download what I want and not what I don't.

Compare to Qt which provides both monolithic source tarballs:

 http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.2/single/

and modular source tarballs:

 http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.2/submodules/

Is something similar to this a goal or a non-goal for 'Boost 
modularization'?

Thanks,

Steve.
