Well for once we do agree - I don't like it either!

Right now we have all the boost library modules in a "flat" list at the
same level of the library / application I'm working on.  Rather than
using b2 headers to create a monolithic head structure from our
modules we could just as well replace

#include <boost/spinlock/spinlock.hpp>

with (assuming we're in side of libs/serialization/* (test, library or
example)

#include <../../spinlock/include/boost/spinlock/spinlock.hpp>

or just add all the ../../*/include/ paths to the include search path.

Then there is the redundant "boost" I'd like to eliminate - but much
too disruptive for now.

Personally, I'm at about the limit of git complexity I can currently deal
with
