You just don't listen, do you?

You can't have git submodules in a Boost distribution. It's an archive.

You don't listen, do you?

The objection is not against having a preprocessed edition. Have it. There's 
no problem with it.

Not listening, are we? Internal standalone utility libraries have a long 
history in Boost, as long as they are completely contained within their 
libs/$library directory. Once again, you can't have a git submodule in a 
Boost distribution, which is an archive.

I give up. You're hopeless.
