It's also in the package 'functional' (that is, it resides in the directory 
libs/functional and the package script and bpm at the moment do not support 
finer resolution than libs/*) and in the module 'functional' (it doesn't 
have its own include/ directory and is therefore not recognized as a 
submodule by boostdep).

It should just be in libs/hash.

For hash_fwd, we could in principle create a repository libs/fwd that will 
host all forwarding headers. This could be a good place for 
boost/detail/container_fwd.hpp, which currently resides in Detail for lack 
of a better home.
